                       RECOGNIZING CARL WEATHERS

  (Mr. ARRINGTON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of a 
remarkable man and a fellow west Texan, retired Texas Ranger Captain 
Carl A. Weathers, who passed away recently.
  Captain Weathers devoted his life's work to serving his country and 
my home State of Texas first as a soldier in the United States Army, 
and then with an over 40-year career in Texas law enforcement, 
beginning as a State trooper and rising to the rank of captain in the 
Texas Rangers.
  Throughout their long and storied history, the Rangers have remained 
the best of the best in Texas law enforcement. Captain Weathers carried 
out the Texas Rangers' legacy in true west Texas fashion: with 
integrity, courage, and service to his fellow man.
  Along with his dedication to the Texas Rangers, Carl was a devoted 
husband and family man.
  To Carl's family, I join you in celebrating a life well-lived and 
trusting that he has heard those beautiful and powerful words from our 
glorious creator: ``Well done, good and faithful servant.''
