  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Al and Kathy Hubbard 
for their contribution to our state and country.
  Al has had an incredible career, serving our state and country in a 
variety of roles over the years. He served as the Chair of the Indiana 
Republican Party, the Director of the National Economic Council, and 
founded E&A Industries. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the 
Simon Property Group, the Heritage Group, the Lumina Foundation and the 
Indiana Commission for Higher Education. It has been an honor to work 
with him in advancing our shared Republican principles.
  Kathy is an accomplished education reformer who has made a tremendous 
impact on our state and nation. She serves on the board of directors of 
several organizations, including DePauw University, the Indianapolis 
Zoo and Choice Charitable Trust. She also was appointed by President 
George W. Bush to serve on the J. William Fulbright Board.
  On a personal note, I have had the pleasure of knowing Al and Kathy 
Hubbard for nearly two decades. Al and Kathy have been good friends, 
loyal supporters and trusted advisors during my entire tenure in 
Congress. Al and I are also proud alums of Vanderbilt University.
  I want to thank Al and Kathy for their friendship, mentorship and 
loyalty to me over all these years. I wish them continued success in 
all that God has planned for their family.
