                      TRIBUTE TO HENRY WARD JANDL

  Mr. JOHNSTON. Mr. President, I rise today to report to the Senate the 
sad news of the loss of one of our Nation's preeminent historic 
preservation professionals, Henry Ward Jandl, who died unexpectedly on 
Saturday, March 18, at George Washington University Hospital.
  I came to know and respect Ward Jandl's fine work through many years 
of involvement in historic preservation legislation through the Senate 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources as well as through my own 
personal interest, and that of my wife Mary, in historic preservation 
in Louisiana.
  Ward Jandl graduated from the Hotchkill School in 1964 and Yale 
University in 1968. He spent 2 years in the Peace Corps teaching 
English in Ankara, Turkey. In 1971, he received a Graduate Certificate 
in Historic Preservation from Columbia University while working at the 
New York Public Library.
  A resident of the District of Columbia since 1974, Ward's entire 
professional career was spent in the U.S. Department of the Interior, 
National Park Service. He began as an architectural historian at the 
National Register of Historic Places. At the time of his death, he was 
Chief Appeals Officer, Cultural Resources, and Deputy Chief, 
Preservation Division.
  For his dedicated service to historic preservation, Ward received 
several honors from the Department of the Interior. In addition to 
being a valued policymaker, Ward coauthored two books: Houses by Mail: 
A Guide to Houses from Sears, Roebuck and Co., in 1986, and Yesterday's 
Houses of Tomorrow: Innovative Homes: 1850-1950, in 1991.
  Mr. President, Ward Henry Jandl accomplished many things in his 
relatively brief, but filled career and has left a legacy for our 
Nation to follow as we attempt to preserve our past in preparation for 
brighter days ahead. I hope this legacy will help ease the loss of his 
passing for his father, Henry Anthony Jandl of Richmond, VA, and his 
sister, Margaret Marie Jandl of Cambridge, MA, to whom I extend my most 
sincere condolences.
