                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 31, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Joseph 
DiTomaso for being named an Extension Specialist Award finalist by the 
Friends of Agricultural Extension. The Friends of Agricultural 
Extension will recognize Joseph at their annual awards dinner.
  Joseph is a U.C. Davis Weed Science Extension Specialist. He has 
continually been developing his program on the subject of ``Control of 
Yellow Starthistle.'' The emphasis of his research has shifted from 
defining the biology and ecology of this serious pest to developing 
integrated system approaches to its long-term management, as well as to 
that of other non-crop weeds.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Joseph DiTomaso for being named an 
Extension Specialist Award finalist by the Friends of Agricultural 
Extension. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Joseph many more 
years of continued success.
