                   REMEMBERING DONALD ``BUDDY'' WRAY

  (Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
one of Arkansas' most treasured business leaders, Donald ``Buddy'' 
Wray.
  Mr. Wray, the former president of Tyson Foods, in Springdale, died 
late last month at the age of 78. Buddy spent more than 40 years with 
Tyson Foods, growing and supporting good jobs in Arkansas.
  Buddy was an avid hunter, an outdoorsman, and a proud fan of the 
Arkansas Razorbacks. He spent much of his time helping our local 
communities. In particular, he was an avid member of the Kiwanis Club 
in Springdale.
  Buddy's work and legacy has been recognized by numerous 
organizations, and he was inducted into both the Arkansas Agriculture 
Hall of Fame and the Business Hall of Fame. He has left a lasting 
impact on our State and will be greatly missed by all of us.
  I extend my respect, affection, and prayers to his many friends, 
family, and loved ones.
