  Mr. WEBER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding work of Mayor Becky Ames, the 41st mayor of Beaumont, 
Texas.
  Since being elected, Mayor Becky Ames has spearheaded several 
initiatives to better the Beaumont area, such as establishing the One 
Stop Shop in city hall to help businesses and homeowners with their 
various needs.
  Becky has also helped develop the 311 call centers to help residents 
with nonemergency issues.
  Mayor Ames' most significant contributions to our district include 
the emergency preparation and management before and after several 
tropical storms and hurricanes that have impacted Beaumont. Mayor Ames' 
experience and leadership during these storms were instrumental to 
recovery efforts and restoring Beaumont's infrastructure. I have seen 
them up close and personal.
  I recognize and I thank Mayor Becky Ames for her many years of 
selfless service to Beaumont and our 14th Congressional District of 
Texas.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Becky on her well-earned retirement.
