                      CONGRATULATING JOHN P. GILL

  (Mr. HILL of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize John 
P. Gill of Little Rock, Arkansas, who is being honored with Preserve 
Arkansas' 2019 Parker Westbrook Award for Lifetime Achievement.
  This award recognizes significant individual achievement in historic 
preservation and is Preserve Arkansas' only award for achievement in 
preservation over a long period of time.

  Throughout his career, both as an attorney and as a historian, John's 
passion for preservation was evident by his service in a number of 
capacities throughout central Arkansas, including sitting on the board 
of Little Rock Visitor Information Center Foundation and leading the 
efforts to preserve and restore Curran Hall. He also was president of 
the board of Preserve Arkansas in 2010.
  John has demonstrated his passion for preservation through his 
commitment to service and leadership. I congratulate my friend John 
Gill on receiving this year's Parker Westbrook Award for Lifetime 
Achievement.
