                         HONORING DORTHA SCOTT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 27, 2017

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the work of Dortha 
Scott of Mount Ida, Arkansas. Ms. Scott may not be a household name 
across America, but chances are each American has held a piece of her 
art. Fifteen years ago, former Gov. Mike Huckabee selected Ms. Scott's 
design for the quarter honoring Arkansas' admission to the Union as the 
25th state. Her design, recognizing the Fourth Congressional District's 
Crater of Diamonds State Park, along with some of our state's most 
recognized icons including a stalk of rice, forests, and a mallard 
duck, showcased the best of the Natural State. In all, more than 457 
million Arkansas state quarters were minted, a wonderful honor for a 
talented Arkansan. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Scott for her vision, her 
talent, and her dedication to Arkansas.
