  Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the retirement 
of Bryan K. Exum. Bryan began his career with Farmers Home 
Administration (aka Rural Development) as a Student Trainee Agriculture 
Management Specialist on May 18, 1980, in the Pine Bluff, Jefferson 
County Office. He worked in that office for three months and then was 
transferred as a Student Trainee to the Paragould, Greene County 
Office. While working Bryan was attending Arkansas State University in 
Jonesboro and received a degree in Agriculture Business. In December 
1982, he was hired as the Assistant County Supervisor in the Greene 
County Office. In 1989, Bryan was transferred to the Marianna, Lee 
County Office and in 1992 he was selected as the County Supervisor.
  In 1995 Bryan was selected as the Rural development Manager for 
Greene, Craighead and Poinsett Counties and was an Area Specialist from 
August 16, 2007 until January 2011, in the Jonesboro Area Office. On 
January 16, 20l l, Bryan was selected as the Area Director for the 
Jonesboro Area Office. In addition to his duties as Area Director in 
Jonesboro, he was Acting Area Director for the Forrest City Area Office 
on two different occasions for an extended amount of time.
  Bryan K. Exum, throughout his lifetime of service, has played a 
significant impact on eastern rural Arkansas. Bryan is a loyal and 
dedicated Arkansan, and we are a better State because of his service to 
the agriculture business.
