Refuges are places dedicated to conservation, public enjoyment, and environmental education. Jocelyn was a kind, compassionate young girl who loved animals and cared deeply for the natural world. Renaming this refuge is a fitting honor to Jocelyn's life that ensures that her memory lives on. Again, I thank Congressman Babin and the Texas delegation for their work on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
