                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2000

  Mr. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I'm pleased to bring to the attention of my 
colleagues an honor recently bestowed upon one of my most distinguished 
constituents, Dr. Richard Goode, M.D. Dr. Goode was recently presented 
with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Alumni Association of the 
University of California at Santa Barbara for his contributions to 
improved hearing.
  Dr. Goode graduated from UCSB with his B.A. degree in 1958. As an 
undergraduate, he was elected President of the Associated Students, and 
was presented with the ``Honor Copy'' of the yearbook ``La Cumbre'' at 
his commencement ceremonies. The leadership skills he developed during 
his years at UCSB clearly set the stage for his subsequent successes in 
the medical profession.
  Dr. Goode is a highly regarded professor and physician in our 
community. He has served on the surgery faculty of Stanford University 
School's of Medicine for over thirty years and has led the Division of 
Otolaryngology at the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Healthcare System. He 
has served as President of the American Academy of Otolaryngology--Head 
and Neck Surgery, and of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and 
Reconstructive Surgery.
  Notwithstanding all these wonderful achievements, it is his work in 
developing hearing technologies that has brought him the greatest 
recognition. Dr. Goode has developed many devices that are used 
regularly by ear, nose, and throat specialists, most notably the Goode 
T-Tube. He has had a successful business career founding two companies 
which manufacture high-tech hearing devices.
  Public service is an important component of Dr. Goode's career. He's 
a member of the Food and Drug Administration's Ear, Nose, and Throat 
Medical Device Panel and he serves with distinction on the National 
Institutes of Health Communicative Disorders Review Committee.
  Mr. Speaker, representing my constituent Dr. Richard Goode is one of 
the great privileges of serving in the House of Representatives. I'm 
proud to bring his accomplishments and recognition as recipient of the 
UCSB Alumni Association Lifetime Achievement Award to the attention of 
my colleagues and ask that the entire House join me in honoring him 
today.
