                       TRIBUTE TO MARTY McLENDON

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Marty 
McLendon for his dedication and unwavering commitment to Georgia's 
agricultural community.
  Mr. McLendon has worked as a peanut farmer in Albany, GA, for the 
past 25 years, leading the Albany community in ensuring Georgia remains 
a top producer of quality peanuts. He continues this important work as 
a board member of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Peanut Standards 
Board. Mr. McLendon also currently serves as district chairman of the 
Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District and as a board member 
of Flint River Fresh, an Albany-based organization that helps low-
income communities in Dougherty County and southwest Georgia access 
fresh fruits and vegetables. His work does not stop there. Mr. McLendon 
takes his commitment to public service to the next level by frequently 
opening his home to local events and gatherings, building community 
with his friends and neighbors.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, it is my honor to commend Marty McLendon 
for his valiant service to the southwest Georgia community.
