    RECOGNIZING THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HOUSTON LIVESTOCK RODEO

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
90th anniversary of a Houston-area community staple, the Houston 
Livestock Show and Rodeo.
  Anyone who lives in or around Houston knows about the Houston Rodeo, 
but outside of their legendary fried Oreos, incredibly tasty brisket, 
and impressive livestock shows and rodeo, it is a family-friendly place 
where families and communities across the region learn about 
agriculture.
  The Houston Rodeo has a special place in my heart, Madam Speaker, as 
it does to many Texans. Growing up on a farm, I still remember my first 
trip to Houston was to attend the Houston Rodeo.
  Today, it is the world's largest rodeo with attendance surpassing two 
million people. Money raised at the rodeo goes to scholarships. This 
year alone, 350 4-year scholarships will be awarded.
  The Houston Rodeo is a Houston gem. It is a Texas gem.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the Houston Rodeo on its 90-year 
anniversary, and I look forward to the next 90 years.
