Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a really brave, dedicated Arkansan, Hakeem Jordan. This extraordinary central Arkansan heroically rescued 26-year-old Jelani Proctor of North Little Rock following a tragic car accident. After witnessing the crash on Interstate 630, Hakeem immediately called 911. He ran to the site of the crash and rescued Jelani from his burning vehicle. He was treated at a Little Rock hospital, and is in stable condition. Unfortunately, Jelani's father, Conrad, did not survive the crash. Martha and I send our condolences to the entire Proctor family during this difficult time. Make no mistake, Hakeem's actions are nothing short of heroic. Without this incredible display of bravery and selflessness, Jelani would not be alive today. Central Arkansas stands better off because of our citizens like Hakeem. Recognizing John Jumper
