                          HON. VICKY HARTZLER

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, today I want to commend Mrs. Beverly 
LaHaye of the Concerned Women for America for the work that she has 
done in inspiring millions of women across America to defend Christian, 
conservative values throughout our beloved country.
  This month marks the 40th anniversary of this great national 
organization. LaHaye has been a hero of mine and has been an 
inspiration in my own public service.
  She started as a pastor's wife who was serving the church and raising 
her family, deeply concerned about the direction some in our country 
wanted to take. After hearing other progressive organizations claiming 
to speak on behalf of all American women, LaHaye had the courage to 
stand up and work with other Christian, conservative women across 
America to join together and pray for the soul of our nation. As more 
women gathered and joined the group, LaHaye became instrumental in 
promoting Godly values of life and the value of family in the public 
arena.
  I appreciate everything she has done in paving the way for other 
conservative women to speak out, to get involved, and to never give up. 
I wish her all the best in her well-deserved retirement.
