  HONORING JAMES DAVIS FOR HIS GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in gratitude of the lifetime 
of generous contributions to Arkansas and its citizens by Jim Davis.
  Service was an integral part of Jim's life, serving in the U.S. Army 
in the Western Pacific and Korea. He continued his passion for his 
community throughout his life as a gracious contributor who served on 
several boards and commissions and actively volunteered and devoted his 
time to create a better life for all in Arkansas.
  Jim served as the chairman of the Leadership Council and the Arkansas 
Chapter of the National Federation of Independent Business. Former 
Governor Mike Huckabee appointed him to the Arkansas State Health 
Board, the Beverage Control Board, and the Arkansas State Police 
Commission. He was currently serving as a member of the Arkansas 
Commission for Veterans Affairs, and he was a proud Shriner and Mason.
  After a long, fulfilling life, Jim passed away on December 18, and he 
will certainly be missed. However, his legacy will live for generations 
to come because of his generosity.
  I ask my colleagues to keep Jim's family and friends in their 
thoughts and prayers during these difficult times.
