                        HONORING ANDREW GROSETA

  (Mr. GOSAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of my dear 
friend, Andrew Groseta. Today, Andrew needs our prayers, and I ask the 
Lord's healing hands land upon him.
  Andrew Groseta is a third-generation rancher from Cottonwood, 
Arizona. He and his family have been ranching in the Verde Valley along 
the Verde River in Arizona since 1922.
  Ranching and raising beef are more than just a business. It is a way 
of life for Andrew. He is a member of the Arizona 4-H Hall of Fame and 
a past Arizonan Agriculturist of the Year.
  As the former president of the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association 
and the past president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, 
Andrew Groseta has been the voice and brains of the cattle industry for 
decades.
  Andrew has dedicated his entire life, time, and energy to mentoring 
young people interested in the field of agriculture while 
simultaneously leading the effort to ensure Arizona's cattle industry 
thrives in the face of many challenges. He has always been a great 
steward and emphasized the importance of being a good steward of our 
land.
  Over the years, if I ever had a question about water conservation, 
forest and land management, food safety, or anything related to 
ranching, Andrew Groseta was the first person I would seek to call for 
advice.
  It is often said the best people in the world are in the cattle 
business, but none are better than Andrew Groseta. I am very proud and 
blessed to know Andrew and Mary Beth, his wife, and to call them my 
friends.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my high honor to recognize Andrew Groseta today. 
God bless my friend, Andrew Groseta.
