          REMEMBERING STANLEY REED, A GREAT LEADER IN ARKANSAS

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, today I rise to remember a great leader 
from the State of Arkansas, Mr. Stanley Reed. Stanley Reed was 
prematurely taken away from us last Friday, but his legacy will live 
on.
  Stanley was from Marianna in Lee County, but his influence is felt 
throughout the entire State of Arkansas. He served as president of the 
Arkansas Farm Bureau and worked tirelessly for the agriculture 
community, leading several initiatives to advance Arkansas agriculture.
  For 10 years, he served on the Board of Trustees for the University 
of Arkansas. Stanley placed a great emphasis on the importance of 
education, and it can be seen through his work at the university.
  Stanley was also an advocate for Arkansas businesses. He served on 
the Board of Arkansas World Trade Center where he shared his vision for 
Arkansas businesses to compete in the global economy.
  Stanley leaves behind his wife, Charlene, his children--Nathan, Haley 
and Anna--and three grandchildren. Arkansas lost a great leader, 
advocate, and ambassador last week; but Stanley Reed's legacy will live 
on through the impact of his work.
