                        Wednesday, March 4, 2020

  Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
and honor Jay Vogt for his appointment to the Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation (ACHP).
   A South Dakota native, Mr. Vogt has been a passionate servant for 
the preservation historical places across the state of South Dakota and 
the entire nation.
   Mr. Vogt served as Director of the South Dakota State Historical 
Society and State Historic Preservation Officer. In the past, he served 
as the president of the National Conference of State Historic 
Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) and represented NCSHPO on the ACHP for 
several years. After a decade of service, Mr. Vogt was appointed Deputy 
Director of the South Dakota State Historical Society in 1999, where he 
spearheaded the preservation of historic Deadwood.
   Mr. Vogt has directed the State Historical Society since 2003 and 
oversees the management of the five programs--archaeology, archives, 
museum, historic preservation, research and publishing--and the 
administrative and development units.
   I commend Mr. Vogt for his outstanding record of service, 
dedication, and hard work. I extend my deepest congratulations to Jay 
Vogt for his contributions to South Dakota and our nation's historical 
places. I look forward to working with Mr. Vogt's as he advises both 
the president and Congress on historical preservation efforts across 
our nation.
