                         JOHN LOCKE FOUNDATION

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, this month marks 25 years since John Hood and 
Marc Rotterman founded the John Locke Foundation with the help of Art 
Pope and the John William Pope Foundation.
  While its beginnings may have been small, the John Locke Foundation 
quickly made an impact, and today, it is the leading voice in North 
Carolina for free markets, limited government, and personal 
responsibility.
  This silver jubilee represents a changing of the guard for the 
organization. After nearly 20 years at its helm, founder John Hood has 
taken a new role as president of the Pope Foundation. He leaves the 
John Locke Foundation in the very capable hands of Kory Swanson, who 
has been a central figure in the growth and influence of the 
organization over the last 15 years.
  The future is bright at the John Locke Foundation, and the people of 
North Carolina are the beneficiaries and are grateful.
