                        TSP CELEBRATES 75 YEARS

 Mr. JOHNSON. Mr. President, it is with great honor that I rise 
today to publicly congratulate The Spitznagel Partners, Inc., TSP, on 
its 75th anniversary as one of South Dakota's premier architectural, 
engineering, and construction firms.
  Founded in Sioux Falls on June 9, 1930, by Sioux Falls native, Harold 
T. Spitznagel, TSP is the largest architectural and engineering firm in 
the State. Throughout its 75 years, TSP has contributed to the 
landscape of 100 different South Dakota communities. Among its most 
notable structures are the Sylvan Lake Hotel, Sioux Falls City Hall, 
St. Mary's Catholic Church, Sioux Falls Arena, IBP/Tyson Foods 
Corporate Headquarters, South Dakota Technology Business Center, 
Harrisburg High School, and Sioux Falls Veterans' Memorial Park.
  Following the firm's significant expansion in 1969, TSP established 
offices in Minnesota, Wyoming, Colorado, Iowa, and Nebraska. 
Accordingly, what was once a small budding company staffed by a single 
person in Sioux Falls is now a prominent firm with offices in nine 
cities and over 200 employees.
  Mr. President, it is with great honor that I share with my colleagues 
the accomplishments of Harold T. Spitznagel, his partners, associates, 
and employees. TSP's proven success will undoubtedly continue to 
enhance both the beauty and property of South Dakota for many years to 
come.
