  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the leadership 
and dedication Reta Hamilton has shown to the Republican Party of 
Arkansas and the Republican National Committee. Ms. Hamilton has made a 
lifelong commitment to advancing conservative causes.
  Her career began as a volunteer in political activism in 1995; and 
she has gone on to hold positions, including the first vice chairman of 
the Republican Party of Arkansas, an appointee to the

Governor's Appointments Committee, and a member of the National 
Committee's Women's Leadership Forum.
  She served as a national committeewoman for the Republican Party of 
Arkansas since 2004; and as a member of the national rules committee, 
she is able to influence party nominations and messages.
  Ms. Hamilton has been a delegate to every Republican national 
convention since 1992. She is also a 2012 RNC convention committee 
member.
  Mr. Speaker, today I honor Ms. Reta Hamilton for her commitment to 
our commonsense, conservative ideals and thank her for her service.
