                 RECOGNIZING BISHOP DON DIXON WILLIAMS

  Mr. REID. Madam President, today I honor and recognize the career of 
Bishop Don diXon Williams, a member of the organization Bread for the 
World and the face of antihunger advocacy for over 25 years. At Bread 
for the World, Bishop Williams has been the national associate for 
African-American church engagement and a globally recognized advocate 
for the poorest among us.
  During his tenure at Bread for the World, Bishop Williams traveled 
across the world confronting the problem of hunger both at home and 
abroad. Bishop Williams also served as a US delegate to the G8 summit, 
and he has traveled to Israel and Palestine to help engage Muslim, 
Jewish, and Christian leaders in discussions about peace.
  In addition to his service for Bread for the World, Bishop Williams 
has been the consummate churchman. He was consecrated a bishop in 2007 
for the United Church of Jesus Christ, and he has served in various 
capacities with other faith-based organizations throughout his career.
  On behalf of the Senate, I commend Bishop Don diXon Williams on a 
lifetime of public service and wish him the best in all his future 
endeavors.
