     MOURNING THE PASSING OF ARKANSAS LT. GOVERNOR WIN ROCKEFELLER

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise with my colleagues from Arkansas 
today. The State of Arkansas has lost one of its greatest citizens and 
role models this week. Lieutenant Governor Win Rockefeller dedicated 
his life to public service and to the people of our State.
  As Lieutenant Governor, Governor Rockefeller focused on economic 
development, education and literacy. Let me give you just an example of 
the many great contributions that Lieutenant Governor Rockefeller made, 
not just as an elected official, but as a citizen. The Lieutenant 
Governor created a program called ``Books in the Attic'' where Boy 
Scouts collected used children's books to distribute to needy families. 
This was a little thing, but Lieutenant Governor Rockefeller was always 
willing to use his resources to do good, but more importantly he wanted 
to get other people involved in doing good as well.
  The passing of Lieutenant Governor Rockefeller is a great loss for 
the State of Arkansas. We will all be grateful that he chose to make 
Arkansas his home. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and 
friends who loved him so much.
