   CONGRATULATIONS TO SARAH DAVIS, YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK'S FIRST 
                          FEMALE CHIEF RANGER

  (Mr. BUDD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUDD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lexington, North 
Carolina, native Sarah Davis for recently becoming Yellowstone National 
Park's first female chief ranger. This is a huge milestone, and our 
Davidson County community could not be more proud of her.
  Over the past two decades, Sarah has held various leadership roles, 
including at North Carolina's own Guilford Courthouse National Military 
Parks and also Blue Ridge Parkways. Sarah is well suited for this 
position as she becomes the 18th chief ranger in more than 100 years of 
Yellowstone National Park.
  When asked to describe her leadership qualities, the superintendent 
said: ``She is an outstanding leader, with a track record of high 
performance, strategic thinking, and collaboration.''
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Sarah Davis of 
Lexington, North Carolina, on her new position at Yellowstone National 
Park. We wish her the best of luck.
