I also rise today to congratulate my good friend, Mr. Joe Fox, on his retirement. Joe has had a successful career in forestry in my home State of Arkansas as State forester, directing the Forestry Division of the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. In Arkansas, Joe Fox and forestry are synonymous. He brings to the table a depth of experience, having served as president of the Arkansas Forestry Association, chairman of the Arkansas Forestry Commission, and president of the National Association of State Foresters. I express my sincere thanks to Joe for his service and dedication to the State of Arkansas, his knowledge of forestry, and his contributions to the industry. I am proud to say that Arkansas serves as a blueprint for forest management for the rest of the country, and that has been enhanced by the service and leadership of Joe Fox. Without a doubt, through his work in forestry and conservation, Joe has left a legacy for future generations, not only in the example that he set but also a tangible one: Our forests are better off for our kids and grandkids because of Joe Fox. Mr. Speaker, I will leave with you a famous Joe Fox quote: ``Trees are the answer. Now, what is your question?'' I couldn't agree more. Arkansas Is a Wonderful State

I commend the Trump administration for these balanced reforms and for reminding us all that the E.S.A. was written to enrich wildlife habitat, not lawyers.

As a forester, I can say that the only clear-cuts that are happening on Federal lands right now are wildfires. That is nature's way of clear-cutting. When we see these devastating wildfires that burn everything off of the landscape, that…
