  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share with my colleagues 
in the House of Representatives the importance of recognizing October 
as National Dental Hygiene Month.
  The Dental Hygienists Association of the State of New York will 
celebrate its 75th anniversary October 20-22. With the advent of this 
anniversary, we should take note of this outstanding association.
  The Dental Hygienists Association was developed to improve the oral 
health of the public; advance of the art and science of dental hygiene; 
maintain the highest standards of dental hygiene education and 
practice; represent and protest the interests of the dental hygiene 
profession; improve the professional competence of the dental 
hygienist; to foster research in oral health and finally, to provide 
professional communications.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all of my colleagues in the House of 
Representatives to join me now in saluting the members of the Dental 
Hygienists Association of the State of new York for their dedication to 
their profession and to the oral hygiene of the people of this United 
States of America.
