HONORING JOE LILES
(Mr. WESTERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the exemplary work
and upcoming retirement of Joe Liles, a law enforcement officer with
the Ouachita National Forest.
Joe has faithfully served Arkansas for 30 years, going above and
beyond in each mission to loyally serve the people of Arkansas.
Throughout his successful career, Joe received many awards, including
the ``Delivering Benefits to the Public'' award at the 2019 Regional
Foresters Honor Awards for his heroic efforts in locating and
recovering a lost hiker in the Caney Creek Wilderness.
Joe's humble nature and hardworking spirit made him a vital part of
the Ouachita National Forest. I speak for all Arkansans when I say
thank you for your service and wish you the best in retirement.
