                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 16, 1999

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Dr. Linneaus C. 
Dorman of Midland, Michigan, who recently received the 1999 Percy L. 
Julian Award, the highest award presented by the National Organization 
for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical 
Engineers. Dr. Dorman earned this award for his pure and applied 
research in engineering and science.
  I would like to congratulate Dr. Dorman and draw attention of my 
colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives and my constituents in 
the 4th Congressional District to Dr. Dorman's distinguished career.
  Dr. Dorman's fascination with science began in his childhood, with a 
friend and a chemistry set. Since then he has made remarkable 
contributions to his field. He earned his bachelor of science in 
chemistry from Bradley University and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from 
Indiana University in 1961.
  After receiving his Ph.D., Dr. Dorman went to Midland to work for The 
Dow Chemical Company, where he worked in research and development with 
a primary focus on the chemistry of carbon compounds, found in living 
things. His work in agricultural chemical synthesis, automated protein 
synthesis, ceramics, and polymers have earned him high praise from his 
peers.
  Today he continues to be involved with science and shares his love of 
it with young people in the community, while remaining a member of the 
National Organization for the Advancement of Black Chemists and 
Chemical Engineers.
  Dr. Dorman's contribution to science and the community make him an 
outstanding role model and a respected professional in his field. I am 
honored today to recognize Dr. Dorman, his professional 
accomplishments, and his willingness to share his knowledge.
