  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Samuel Tabler for his 
service, sacrifice and commitment to establishing stability and 
security in Iraq. Tabler taught Iraqis the agriculture lessons he 
learned from his own experiences working for the United States 
Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency's Agricultural Research 
Service.
  Tabler served in the Babil Province region of Iraq from 2009 to 2010. 
While in Iraq, he worked with the Babil Beekeepers Association and 
oversaw the construction of a honey processing and breeding facility. 
Tabler also worked to develop and introduce new technologies to area 
farmers that increased agricultural productivity.
  By empowering Iraqis with knowledge and best practices to improve 
their agriculture industry Tabler has helped create opportunities for 
development and long-term economic viability in Iraq. Tabler's devotion 
to helping others in need is a great example of selfless Arkansas 
values. I am so proud of his accomplishments and the opportunities he 
helped create for Iraqi citizens.
