  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate William A. 
Boothe, M.D. on his successful completion of 50,000 laser vision 
correction procedures. Dr. Boothe, a benchmark of success and a pioneer 
in his field, has certainly set the standard for which his colleagues 
will aspire.
  For years, Dr. William Boothe has administered a state-of-the-art 
refractive surgical procedure called Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis 
(LASIK) which requires much experience and extensive research. Dr. 
Boothe, second to none, is one of the first surgeons in the country 
with the necessary talent required to use the technologically advanced 
equipment required in LASIK procedures.
  As a member of several professional organizations, with an impressive 
educational background and years of experience, Dr. William Boothe has 
provided a better quality of life for all who receive this surgery 
under his care. I place great confidence in Dr. Boothe. He will 
continue to lead the corrective eye surgery profession for years to 
come.
  I congratulate Dr. Boothe for his lasting dedication and selfless 
efforts in helping correct people's vision. Best wishes to Dr. Boothe 
and his staff in their future endeavors.
