     HONORING 20 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY 
                        AGRIBUSINESS CONFERENCE

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the service 
of Arkansas State University Agricultural Economics Professor Dr. Bert 
Greenwalt.
  This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Arkansas State University 
Agribusiness Conference, which Dr. Greenwalt has faithfully directed 
the past two decades. This premier agribusiness conference gathers 
attendees from across the country to focus on global agriculture, farm 
policy, commodity market outlooks, and biofuel research.
  While maintaining a global focus, Dr. Greenwalt also manages to make 
the conference pertinent to Arkansas' agricultural producers, regularly 
bringing State ag leaders and university alumni to the event.
  While attending Arkansas State University myself, I had the privilege 
of having Dr. Greenwalt as an ag policy professor, where I developed 
the skills necessary to serve on the Agriculture Committee in this 
body. Each day serving Arkansas' First District, I experience the same 
kinds of concepts and examples I learned in Dr. Greenwalt's classroom.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me and the entire Arkansas State University 
community in honoring the service of Dr. Bert Greenwalt.
