                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, April 6, 1995
  Mr. PASTOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
the Arizona Agriculture Committee's 1995 Friend of Agriculture award 
winner, Hugh Lynn Anderson.
  An Arizona native, Mr. Anderson has been a rancher, farmer, and 
community leader for over 50 years. His career in agriculture began at 
a young age while working on his parents' ranch in Adamana, AZ. He 
later attended the University of Arizona and received his bachelor of 
arts degree in animal husbandry and range ecology in 1934. After 
working for the U.S. Department of Interior and Agriculture, he moved 
with his wife to Maricopa County where they purchased a 1,900 acre 
ranch.
  Throughout his life, Mr. Anderson has played an active role in 
community and agriculture-related organizations. He has served as the 
president of the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association, director of the 
Arizona Cotton Growers' Association and the Maricopa County Farm 
Bureau. He has also served as a mediator for the State land commission 
during the implementation of the Taylor Act. I am proud to know Mr. 
Anderson as a friend, and it is my pleasure to recognize his 
outstanding achievements and contributions to the people of Arizona.
