                        HONORING GEORGE DUNKLIN

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor George Dunklin on 
completing his term as an Arkansas Game and Fish commissioner. For the 
last 7 years, Mr. Dunklin has worked tirelessly to maintain a healthy 
wildlife population in Arkansas.
  From the time he took office in 2005, after being appointed by 
Governor Mike Huckabee, Mr. Dunklin has been a devoted public servant. 
One of the accomplishments he's most proud of is improving and 
restoring water flow habitat in crucial areas. Arkansas is world 
renowned for duck hunting, and restoring the water flow habitats will 
make for a better environment for the many ducks that over winter in 
Arkansas.
  Mr. Dunklin also worked on an agreement with the Army Corps of 
Engineers to provide minimum flow in the

  Always the gentleman, Mr. Dunklin maintained a healthy balance of 
opposing passions on the commission. I appreciate all of Mr. Dunklin's 
efforts and wish him well on his future endeavors.
