                       Thursday, November 2, 2000

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Kurt Landgraf. Recently, Mr. 
Landgraf, former chairman and CEO of DuPont Pharmaceuticals, took over 
as president and CEO of the Education Testing Service in Princeton, NJ. 
ETS develops and annually administers over 11 million tests worldwide 
on behalf of clients in education, government, and business.
  Mr. Landgraf served as associate marketing director of ETS from 1970 
to 1974. Following that he held various marketing and financial 
management positions with Upjohn Co. In 1980, Mr. Landgraf joined E.I. 
DuPont de Nemours & Co., where he worked within the pharmaceuticals 
division.
  In 1993, Mr. Landgraf was appointed president and CEO of DuPont Merck 
Pharmaceutical Co. At the same time, the Harvard Business Review Case 
Study highlighted Mr. Landgraf's efforts to create a highly diverse and 
inclusive organization.
  In 1996, Mr. Landgraf was appointed chief financial officer of E.I. 
DuPont de Nemours & Co. Later, he would be appointed executive vice 
president and chief operating officer and chairman of DuPont Europe.
  Kurt brings solid leadership, combined with the global business 
experience, understanding of education issues and strong support of 
ETS' mission to the position. Mr. Landgraf excelled as a senior 
executive of a successful company and has a solid track record in 
identifying and developing talent, a perfect complement to ETS' 
mission.
  Once again, I welcome Kurt Landgraf to ETS and ask all my colleagues 
to join me in recognizing his achievements.
