  Mr. WALKINSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bob Budoff for 
his dedicated service as Board President of the Jewish Community 
Relations Council of Greater Washington and to thank him for his 
longstanding commitment to strengthening our community through civic 
engagement, public service, and interfaith collaboration.
  Under Bob Budoff's leadership, the Jewish Community Relations Council 
of Greater Washington has continued its important work advancing 
community partnerships, promoting dialogue across faiths, and 
supporting efforts that strengthen understanding and civic 
participation throughout the region.
  The JCRC of Greater Washington serves as an important voice within 
our community, bringing together leaders, organizations, and residents 
to address critical issues and foster cooperation across the Washington 
metropolitan area. Its work has helped strengthen connections across 
the region and encouraged thoughtful engagement on issues affecting the 
broader community.
  In addition to his service with the JCRC, Bob remains active in the 
Northern Virginia community through Temple B'nai Shalom in Fairfax 
Station. His commitment to service and community involvement reflects 
the values that continue to strengthen our region.
  Bob's leadership comes at a time when strong community relationships 
and thoughtful civic dialogue remain more important than ever. His work 
with the JCRC has helped create opportunities for people from different 
backgrounds and perspectives to engage with one another in meaningful 
and constructive ways.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Bob Budoff 
for his leadership and service to the Jewish Community Relations 
Council of Greater Washington and for his continued contributions to 
our community and the entire Washington, DC region.
