  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Donald 
Fox on his retirement from the National Park Service. Mr. Fox retired 
as a career appointee in the position of Landscape Architect and 
Pacific West Region, PWR, accessibility coordinator for the National 
Park Service.
  Mr. Donald Fox's expertise in landscape architecture and 
accessibility compliance in accordance with the Americans with 
Disabilities Act, AGA, Accessibility Guidelines enabled his success as 
landscape architect and Pacific West Region, PWR, accessibility 
coordinator. His service to the Department of the Interior began in 
1965 with his first temporary appointment and culminated in his 
permanent career appointment in January of 1971. Additionally, Mr. Fox 
served his country faithfully as a dedicated member of the United 
States Army before beginning his career with the National Park Service.
  Mr. Fox worked for over 38 years in the National Park Service and had 
a long and distinguished career that was mostly spent in the service of 
preserving one of our country's most dramatic and beautiful National 
Parks. His efforts to make Yosemite accessible to all will be 
appreciated for decades to come by those who visit this great American 
landmark.
