                        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.
