  Mr. POCAN. Madam Speaker,
  Whereas, the Sauk County Government is celebrating its 175th 
anniversary and has made a distinct impact in the state of Wisconsin; 
and
  Whereas, Sauk County was first established in 1844 when Wisconsin's 
Territorial Legislature passed an act organizing Sauk County; and
  Whereas, Sauk County, from its humble beginnings of only a few 
hundred residents, has grown along with the state of Wisconsin; and
  Whereas, Sauk County is now one of the top ten fastest growing 
counties in Wisconsin with a population greater than 60,000; and
  Whereas, Sauk County continues to generate some of the most 
significant numbers of tourism in the Second Congressional District of 
Wisconsin; and
  Whereas, both the pioneers that helped build Sauk County and the 
residents still living there today deserve recognition; now, therefore, 
I, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan, do hereby proclaim the Sauk County 
Government on this special 175th anniversary, a keystone to the ongoing 
growth and development of Wisconsin.
  On behalf of the Second Congressional District of Wisconsin, I wish 
the Sauk County Government continued growth and success in the years 
ahead.
