               CONGRATULATING CATHI HERROD ON RETIREMENT

  (Mr. BIGGS of Arizona asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Cathi 
Herrod, who recently retired from the Center for Arizona Policy after 
serving 20 years as president.
  Cathi dedicated her life's work to promoting and defending the 
sanctity of life, traditional marriage and families, and religious 
freedom.
  She joined CAP in 1997, shortly after its founding, as legislative 
counsel. Upon retirement of CAP's founder, Len Munsil, in 2005, Cathi 
assumed the role of president and has since been a force for good at 
the Arizona Capitol.
  Since CAP's founding, more than 200 pieces of CAP-supported 
legislation have been passed by the Arizona Legislature, including many 
that protect the unborn and pregnant mothers.
  Cathi has received numerous awards and distinctions for her work. She 
was recognized by Arizona newspapers as one of the 10 most influential 
leaders at the Arizona Capitol. She received the Family Champion award 
from Focus on the Family and received the William Wilberforce Award 
from Students for Life of America.
  Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the work of dedicated individuals like 
Cathi who relentlessly strive to promote policies that protect the 
dignity of every Arizonan. I wish Cathi well in her much-deserved 
retirement.
