                           HONORING SAM MOORE

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I proudly rise today to recognize 
Mr. Sam Moore for his outstanding contribution to Kentucky Agriculture.
  Mr. Moore has served as president of the Kentucky Farm Bureau 
Federation since December 1998 following 7 years of service as first 
vice president. He has been a member of the Kentucky Farm Bureau 
Federation board of directors since 1975 and is a distinguished member 
of the American Farm bureau board of directors. Mr. Moore, a Butler 
County native and father of six has been an active member of Kentucky's 
agricultural community all his life. In 1973, Mr. Moore was selected an 
outstanding young farmer by the Kentucky Jaycees, and the following 
year he won a similar designation from the Kentucky Farm Bureau. As 
Kentucky's representative in the 1974 national young farmer 
competition, he received a special citation as one of the top entrants. 
In 2003, he was selected as Man of the Year in Kentucky Agriculture by 
Progressive Farmer Magazine.
  Mr. President, Mr. Moore has announced he will retire after 30 years 
of outstanding service to the Kentucky Farm Bureau. The people of 
Kentucky are extremely fortunate to have had Mr. Moore's leadership 
over the years. I have had the honor and privilege of working with Mr. 
Moore on a variety of

issues and have found his dedication and commitment to agriculture 
admirable. He and his wife Helen serve as a wonderful example to the 
citizens of Kentucky and I would like to take this moment to recognize 
his service to the Commonwealth.
  Mr. Moore, the citizens of Kentucky are grateful for all you have 
done for Kentucky and for the agricultural community.
