  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
Sam T. Gibson, former Director of the National Blood Bank for the Red 
Cross, who recently passed away.
  Dr. Gibson joined the Red Cross in 1949, following research at 
Harvard Medical School. He worked in the blood program of the Red Cross 
for 18 years and taught at George Washington University medical school 
and the Uniformed Services University. Dr. Gibson directed the national 
blood bank program of the American Red Cross and retired from a 
research post at the FDA in 1988.
  Prior to his work at the FDA, Dr. Gibson was a biological official at 
the National Institute of Health where he retired as director of 
science and technology in the Office of Health Affairs.
  Dr. Gibson was an asset to all of those he served who will be greatly 
missed by those who were under his care.
