I thank my colleague and my friend for his leadership, and I thank him for yielding the floor to me. I have been here 19 years. It is pretty hard to believe. Some of my detractors say it seems longer. It has gone by pretty fast. In the…

If the gentleman would yield the floor for a moment, I said earlier in my remarks, to paraphrase it again, that it is possible to do good and do well at the same time. It really is. I am just happy that more and more people are doing that…

Thank you for sharing with us the terrific ideas of what businesses around Arkansas and the country are doing to recycle. They do it for a variety of reasons. It is the right thing to do, and a lot of them are committed to being good…
