Madam Speaker, I stand today to recognize the outstanding career of Walter Hussman, Jr., the publisher of the Arkansas Democrat- Gazette. Recently, Walter announced that he will retire from the publication at the end of 2022. Walter's career began with him placing comics in the Camden News for 25 cents an hour all the way to restructuring the Arkansas Democrat, buying the Arkansas Gazette and crafting the State's largest newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Over his career as a publisher, he oversaw many changes, including bringing the Democrat-Gazette into the digital age, for which he was recognized with national attention. During his announcement of retirement, Walter shared that it is time now for the next generation. Walter is an example of the American Dream, how hard work and dedication to your craft can lead to a long, prosperous career. Congratulations, Mr. Hussman, on your outstanding career, your evidence as a mentor and a role model, and I wish you a well-deserved retirement. Nigeria Country of Particular Concern
