                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                      Wednesday, November 14, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Rob Atwill for 
being named an Extension Specialist Award finalist by the Friends of 
Agricultural Extension. The Friends of Agricultural Extension will 
recognize Rob at their annual awards dinner.
  Rob is a Veterinary Medicine Extension Specialist at the U.C. 
Veterinary Medical Training & Research Center in Tulare, CA. He is 
conducting research on the subject of ``The Interface Between Water 
Quality, Animal Agriculture, and Human Health--with particular emphasis 
on the fate and distribution of waterborne pathogens from animal 
agricultural systems.'' Rob's efforts to develop responsible data to 
determine the extent and risk of microbial movement from dairy lagoons 
and other such systems has been invaluable to our livestock industry. 
His work has helped develop responsible handling techniques and provide 
factual insight on which to base regulatory guidelines.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Rob Atwill for being named an Extension 
Specialist Award finalist by the Friends of Agricultural Extension. I 
urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Rob Atwill many more years of 
continued success.
