                     HONORING THE LIFE OF BOB HOLT

  (Mr. WESTERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House

for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of renowned 
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette sports reporter Bob Holt, who passed away 
December 4 after collapsing following the Arkansas football game 
against the Missouri Tigers, his alma mater.
  Since 1981, Bob covered the Razorbacks and sports across Arkansas, 
bringing every game to life in a unique way that only Bob Holt could.
  He was a titan of the media industry, revered for his ability to get 
an answer to any question, all while maintaining the utmost respect 
from coaches, players, and his fellow reporters.
  Bob leaves a resounding legacy in his wake, and his mark in the 
Arkansas sports community will go down in history. Not only was Bob an 
unparalleled reporter, he was a faithful and loyal friend.
  Matt Jones, a friend and colleague of Bob's for many years, said that 
if the world was full of Bob Holts, it would be a lot better world, a 
lot kinder world, a lot more peaceful world. It would be a world that 
laughs a lot more, and it would be a much, much better place.
  My prayers go out to his family, friends, and all Arkansans mourning 
our loss.
