                        Tuesday, March 13, 2018

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Martin 
MacDonald for his induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
  Mr. MacDonald serves as the Director of Conservation for Bass Pro 
Shops, seeking to connect those who love the outdoors with the ideals 
of protecting wildlife and the habitat in which they live. He has 
worked with and assisted in the founding of several organizations that 
strive to promote conservation based policies, including the Upper 
White River Basin Foundation. He serves on the James River Basin 
Partnership and is a board member at the Wonders of Wildlife National 
Museum and Aquarium. Being a prominent member of the conservation 
community, Mr. MacDonald works closely with the National Association of 
Fish and Wildlife agencies to determine how best to preserve and 
protect Missouri's outdoor resources. His record over the course of a 
twenty-plus year career has earned him special recognition from the 
National Association of State Park Directors as someone who is deeply 
committed to promoting the outdoors. This commitment to the ideals of 
conservation has now earned him a much-deserved spot in the Missouri 
Sports Hall of Fame.
  My highest appreciation goes to Mr. MacDonald for all the fine work 
he has done for southwest Missouri and to all the efforts he has made 
in the conservation and wildlife communities. My district is one that 
many folks enjoy hunting, fishing and the beauty of the outdoors and I 
know they join me in thanking Mr. MacDonald for all the great work he 
has accomplished throughout his career.
