Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of a man who had an indelible impact on Arkansas and our Nation, Mr. Adam McClung, who passed away last month at 37 years young. Adam was a husband, a father, and a champion of the cattle industry in Arkansas while he served as the executive vice president of the Arkansas Cattlemen's Association. A graduate of Greenbrier High School in the beautiful Second Congressional District, Adam attended Oklahoma State University, where he studied agriculture, business economics, and animal science. In 2014, Adam was recognized by the White House and the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a ``Champion of Change.'' He was one of only 15 individuals from around our country to be recognized as a leader in his industry that year. Adam's passion and drive will be missed throughout Arkansas and the cattle industry. He is survived by his wife, Chantel, and a daughter, Maggie Blair. I extend my respect, affection, and prayers for the family and his loved ones. {time} 1300 Remembering Melvin Pickens, the ``Broom Man'' of Little Rock
