                          TRIBUTE TO ED VOGEL

 Mr. HELLER. Madam President, I wish to honor Nevadan Ed Vogel 
for his longtime dedication to journalistic integrity and for providing 
Nevadans with quality reporting. Working 35 years with the Las Vegas 
Review-Journal, Ed has covered the gamut of news stories as the RJ's 
Capital Bureau Chief.
  My fondest memories of Ed go as far back as when I served as 
secretary of state. It was with great pleasure that Ed and I operated 
with an open-door policy. Whenever he walked into my office, I knew I 
should settle in for an interesting story or an entertaining anecdote. 
I look back on those conversations fondly. Ed is a true character, and 
one that will be greatly missed in the halls of our Nation's Capitol.
  Well-known throughout Nevada for his endless curiosity, Ed was 
introduced to the Nevada Newspaper Hall of Fame in 2012. His experience 
spans the better part of four decades, beginning back in 1971, he 
serves as an example within his profession. Committed to the story, 
truth above all, his words' worth today is immeasurable.
  As Ed announces his retirement, I reflect fondly upon our interviews 
together and wish him the best of luck in his new era of life.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing this upstanding Nevada 
journalist.
