                        TRIBUTE TO ROBERT MOORE

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate Arkansas 
State Representative Robert Moore on his recent selection to serve as 
Speaker of the House for the next Arkansas General Assembly.
  Born in Dumas and raised in Arkansas City, Representative Moore 
exemplifies our Arkansas values of hard work, dedication, and 
leadership. Throughout his 25-year career in public service, 
Representative Moore has worked to keep Arkansas strong. Since 2007, he 
has proudly served the residents of southeast Arkansas in the Arkansas 
General Assembly.
  Not only is Representative Moore one of our State's dedicated 
leaders, he has also helped keep the farm family tradition alive in 
Arkansas. As the owner

and operator of Moore Farms in Arkansas City, he produces rice and 
soybeans, with an additional focus on wildlife management. He is also a 
member of the Arkansas House Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and 
Economic Development.
  As a seventh-generation Arkansan and farmer's daughter from Helena, 
and as chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I understand 
firsthand and appreciate the hard work and contributions of our 
Arkansas agriculture community. Agriculture is the backbone of 
Arkansas's economy, creating more than 270,000 jobs in the state and 
providing $9.1 billion in wages and salaries.
  Mr. President, I commend Representative Moore and all members of the 
Arkansas Legislature for their hard work and dedication on behalf of 
the people of our great State. I commend their efforts, and I remain 
dedicated to working with them to help keep Arkansas strong.
