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. ____________________
