                        Wednesday, March 2, 2016

  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 80th 
birthday of Ms. Connie Hunt. Born on March 7, 1936, Connie spent her 
career in civil service. She served the government at every post where 
she, and her husband lived until her retirement in 1986.
   She has also been active in the Calhoun County Republican Party for 
over 20 years, serving as Chairman or Vice Chairman for 18 of those 
years. While volunteering as a tutor for high school students, she 
worked tirelessly to bring civics to life for Calhoun High School 
students with the Calhoun High School Young Republican Club.
   Connie Hunt is a proud Texan and a tremendous friend to the 
conservative cause. She has been an enthusiastic supporter of the 
principles that make our country what it is, and her dedication and 
achievements are the types of things that make the United States so 
exceptional. I am so proud to have constituents like Connie. Happy 
birthday.
