                         TRIBUTE TO CHARLES NIX

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I wish to honor Charles Nix, who 
will retire as the Poinsett County judge after three terms of honorable 
service to the citizens of Arkansas in this elected position.
  As Poinsett County judge, Charles faced and overcame several 
disasters including the 2011 flood and multiple tornadoes. Charles 
played a pivotal role in leading the county through the storms, 
repairing the damages and restoring the livelihood of the citizens.
  Beyond his county judge duties, Charles served as a member of the 
County Judges Association of Arkansas, Crowley's Ridge Development 
Council Board, Eastern Arkansas Planning and Development Council Board, 
and Northwest Arkansas Workforce Investment. He also presided as 
president of the Harrisburg Area Chamber of Commerce and served in the 
Army National Guard for 6 years.
  Charles Nix has displayed honor, perseverance, and an eagerness to 
serve his community that we can all admire. I am truly grateful for his 
years of dedicated service and commitment to Poinsett County and the 
State of Arkansas.
