   RECOGNIZING ARIZONA'S BIRTHDAY AND 108TH ANNIVERSARY OF STATEHOOD

  (Mrs. LESKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. LESKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize my home State of 
Arizona's birthday and our 108th anniversary of statehood.
  Since February 14, 1912, the great State of Arizona has welcomed 
those who wish to experience a life of prosperity, opportunity, growth, 
and a culture second to none.
  Every year people from all the over the world come to Arizona to 
experience our State's treasured beauty, and, of course, the five C's.
  I know I speak for all of us who live in Arizona when I say we are 
incredibly grateful to call the Grand Canyon State our home. Our State 
motto means ``God Enriches.'' Arizona is proof of that.
