On the recordJuly 22, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of one of the great leaders that stood tall here in Washington, D.C., and back home in Texas, James ``Jim'' Claude Wright, Jr., who passed away recently, back in May, at the age of 92. And, Mr. Speaker, I am sad to announce that his wife Betty just died on July 15, just last week. So the family has been through a lot. We have a lot of really nice stories to tell about Speaker Wright and how he has influenced so many people. I want to begin by yielding to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), our minority whip.
