HONORING REBEKAH HOSHIKO
(Mr. WESTERMAN of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, this Sunday across America families will
gather to honor our mothers. I rise today to honor a mother and a
dedicated member of my staff as she closes out her time on Capitol
Hill.
Rebekah Hoshiko joined my staff in 2019 and has been a vital member
of my team serving in various capacities and currently serves as
communications director at the Committee on Natural Resources. We are
grateful for her exemplary service, and she will be missed.
Rebekah is departing Capitol Hill to embrace the noble job of full-
time mom to her two young boys, Judah and James. Wishing her and her
family all the best, I hope to encourage Rebekah and all mothers with
the lyrics of a Fourth District Arkansan, Glen Campbell's song:
There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And Heaven help us always to remember
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
