The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“IN RECOGNITION OF EMILY BUCKMAN'S SERVICE TO KENTUCKY'S SECOND DISTRICT” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Agriculture was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E1437 on Oct. 26, 2017.
The Department is primarily focused on food nutrition, with assistance programs making up 80 percent of its budget. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department implements too many regulations and restrictions and impedes the economy.

IN RECOGNITION OF EMILY BUCKMAN'S SERVICE TO KENTUCKY'S SECOND DISTRICT
______
HON. BRETT GUTHRIE
of kentucky
in the house of representatives
Thursday, October 26, 2017
Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give my sincere thanks to Emily Buckman, who will be moving on from my office at the end of this week to serve at the United States Department of Agriculture. What is a loss for my office is a major gain for the administration, and I wish her all the best.
Emily grew up in Marion County, Kentucky, where her parents still operate their family's farm. Emily began her Washington, D.C., career during a summer internship with my predecessor. She came back to D.C. after graduating from Campbellsville University to intern for my office. She came on as staff in 2010 and has been promoted several times. Emily has been dedicated to the Second District of Kentucky ever since then, and her commitment to serving her fellow Kentuckians will be missed.
