                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                       Tuesday, December 3, 2019

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Norman 
Wagoner for his decades of service with the United States Forest 
Service.
  Mr. Wagoner began his career with the Forest Service in 1986, right 
in the Fourth District's own Ouachita National Forest. He worked his 
way up from a co-op student to a Forester Trainee to a Forester, later 
serving as a District Ranger in Colorado and Wyoming. Mr. Wagoner 
returned to the Ouachita National Forest in 2006 to become the Forest 
Supervisor, where he served until his retirement in 2019.
  I was privileged to work alongside Mr. Wagoner on numerous occasions, 
and always admired his commitment to forestry and environmental 
stewardship. He has been a fantastic leader and advocate for Arkansas 
forestry, and will be greatly missed. I wish him all the best in 
retirement.
