                       RECOGNIZING XAVIER WORTHAM

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
extraordinary Oxford community and one of its most outstanding leaders, 
Mr. Xavier Wortham.
  I had the honor of spending a day in Oxford, engaging with local 
nonprofits, educators, clergy, elected officials, and residents. We 
also visited the Masonic Home for Children and held a listening 
session.
  Among the many remarkable people we met, Mr. Wortham's impact stands 
out. For 40 years, he has served as executive director of the Oxford 
Housing Authority, providing families with crucial education, job 
training, and opportunities like college tours at Duke University.

  Mr. Wortham's tireless commitment and love for those he serves in the 
community is indeed a beacon of hope. He embodies what makes Oxford and 
the First Congressional District exceptional.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Wortham for his example and unwavering 
dedication and passion.
