  Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Laci Kaye Booth 
of Livingston, Texas. She is a musician with an incredible God-given 
talent, which she has so graciously shared with her community, state, 
and country.
  Laci Kaye Booth was born in Livingston, Texas on August 28, 1995. 
Surrounded by sixty acres of land, Laci grew up playing in the woods 
and creeks of East Texas. Music was a big part of her life from the 
beginning, whether it was singing at home or church. Inspired by her 
upbringing she began singing at the age of three and learned to play 
the guitar at the age of eight. She has become a talented musician and 
song writer who finds joy in sharing her talents with others.
  Booth attended Sam Houston State University in pursuit of a degree in 
healthcare. While in college, she used her musical talent to help with 
expenses. Earlier this year, Laci was selected as a candidate on the 
competitive television show, American Idol, where she secured a spot in 
the top five. She sang herself into the hearts of many Americans. It 
has been said by hit vocal artists that she has a beautiful, ``unique 
timbre voice,'' and is a ``diamond in the rough.'' Livingston and the 
entire 36th Congressional District are proud of Laci's accomplishments 
and are looking forward to supporting her musical pursuits in the 
future.
  Madam Speaker, it is my distinct honor to recognize Laci Kaye Booth. 
May God continue to bless Laci and the voice He has given her, so that 
she may continue to share it with America and the world.
