             HONORING THE CAREER OF MR. MATTHEW M. FOGARTY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JIM BANKS

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 11, 2021

  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished 
career of Mr. Matthew M. Fogarty of Fort Wayne.
  As a law enforcement officer of 40-plus years, Matthew has been 
essential to the success and safety of the railroad industry in Indiana 
and across the Midwest.
  A graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy, 
Class 231, Matthew dedicated his career to law enforcement by way of 
the Norfolk Southern Railway Police Department.
  Matthew serves as the Northern Region Superintendent of the Norfolk 
Southern Railroad Police. The upper Midwest is his jurisdiction, which 
includes northeast Indiana.
  The United States has the largest rail transport network size of any 
country in the world, and without Fogarty--and other agents like him--
it's security would be jeopardized. He has oversight over crimes 
committed against the railroad, which include trespassing on railroad 
rights of way, theft of railroad property, threats of terrorism, 
derailments and more.
  As Matthew prepares to retire, I wish him the best for all that he 
has done after a long and distinguished career. This record is 
testament to his service for which northeast Indiana is grateful.
