                      RECOGNIZING JAMES BROWN III

  (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 
amazing James Brown III of Wilson, North Carolina, for not just one but 
two remarkable achievements.
  James is graduating as the valedictorian of his class at Wilson 
Preparatory Academy, and if that is not enough, he is doing so with 
perfect attendance that dates all the way back to kindergarten--yes, 
kindergarten.
  Using his words, James said: ``I promised my grandmother that I would 
do well in school, and that is what I am going to do.''
  His late grandmother, Annie Pitt, would be so proud of James, as we 
all are.
  I thank James for keeping his promise to his grandma. He has earned 
the title of the hardest working student in eastern North Carolina's 
class of 2025.
  I congratulate the entire class.
  As I think about your future, ``I feel good.'' Now, James, keep 
making Grandma Annie proud.
