                      LT. CAROLYN J. FERRARI, M.D.

 Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I rise today to commend the 
selection of Lt. Carolyn J. Ferrari, M.D. as medical director and 
physician for Highland Medical Center in Monterey, VA. Dr. Ferrari's 
acceptance of this key medical position concludes a nearly 3-year-old 
search by the medical center board of directors.

  I extend further praise to the U.S. Navy for its authorization of Dr. 
Ferrari's early release. Mr. President, if it were not for this 
authorization, Dr. Ferrari would have had to complete another year of 
duty.
  As a former Secretary of the Navy, I believe this is a win-win 
situation for the U.S. Navy and the people of Highland County. The Navy 
has a long and distinguished history in Virginia, and I appreciate this 
good neighbor effort.
  Dr. Ferrari and the Highland Medical Center will play an important 
role in providing first-class health care to the community. Moreover, 
this partnership represents another important step toward positive 
community and economic growth.
  Mr. President, let me say once again that I applaud the Navy, 
Highland Medical Center and Lt. Carolyn Ferrari, M.D. I am proud that 
my office was able to play a small role in this very good development 
for the citizens of Highland County and the surrounding area.
