What the document says
“Ms. Nungaray loved animals and, given the close proximity of her hometown of Houston, it is fitting that the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge be renamed in her honor.”
The fourth and last of the section's findings, and the one that states the reason for the renaming section 3 makes. Congress gives two grounds: that she loved animals, and that the refuge is close to her hometown of Houston.
What the document actually says
“Ms. Nungaray loved animals and, given the close proximity of her hometown of Houston, it is fitting that the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge be renamed in her honor.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress says Jocelyn Nungaray loved animals. Her home town was close by. So it says the new name fits.
What this is about
A wildlife refuge is land set aside for wild animals. This one is near Houston, where she lived.

not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
