  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, as the nation of Guyana celebrates its 35th 
Independence Anniversary, I would like to salute an outstanding 
Guyanese American, Dr. Stephen Carryl, as a Point of Light for all 
Americans.
  Dr. Stephen Carryl is the Director of Surgery at the Brooklyn 
Hospital-Caledonian Campus and also an Attending Physician at the 
Brookdale University Medical Center in Brooklyn. He specializes in 
Laparoscopic Surgery. He received his Bachelor's Degree at Oakwood 
College in Alabama and subsequently earned his MD Degree from Loma 
Linda University in California. He has been in private practice for 8 
years and is the President of OMAT (Overseas Medical Assistance Team). 
OMAT consists of a team of volunteer Nurses and Doctors who provide 
medical care to the underprivileged in 3rd world countries and the 
Caribbean. Treatment that is not readily available in those respective 
countries are rendered here in the United States through funds donated 
by OMAT. OMAT has gone on missionary trips to Haiti and Guyana.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to salute Dr. Stephen Carryl as a Point of 
Light for all Americans.
