                         HON. CAROLYN McCARTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 25, 2003

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to 
express my deep appreciation and recognition of Mr. Rao S. Anumolu of 
Hauppauge, NY for his tireless efforts in support of our nations 
defense. As President and CEO of ASR International Corporation, Mr. 
Anumolu has assisted the Department of Defense in its fight to protect 
our homeland since the attack on our country on September 11th and 
particularly during the Iraqi war. Since its conception in 1986, ASR 
International has developed cost effective technology and systems to 
protect our nations airports, waterways, railroads and highways. Most 
recently, ASR International has developed the ``SAFETY/SECURITY 
ASSURANCE SYSTEM'' in order to further support our efforts at Homeland 
Security in a comprehensive and cost effective manner.
  In addition to Mr. Anumolu's arduous work with ASR International, he 
has made quite a name for himself outside their doors. Earning a MS in 
Industrial Engineering and a MBA in Management, Mr. Anumolu furthered 
his education in the field of Defense by enrolling in numerous courses 
at Defense Systems Management College as well as Harvard University and 
other esteemed institutions. With this stellar academic background, Mr. 
Anumolu entered the work force, holding such prestigious positions as 
Senior Engineer, Program Manager and Director of Prime Defense 
contractors before founding ASR International in 1986.
  This is not the first time Mr. Anumolu has been recognized for his 
efforts. In 1993, Mr. Anumolu received the Business Excellence Award 
from the U.S. Small Business Administration for his work in the field 
of Defense. Now, it is my turn to say ``Thanks.''
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join with me in expressing our 
gratitude to Mr. Anumolu for his exemplary work and dedication to the 
safety and protection of all Americans. His many accomplishments have 
helped make the United States a safe place for all.
