               ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE STOLAR RESEARCH CORP.

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I would like to recognize the 
achievements of the Stolar Research Corp. of Raton, NM. Stolar's drill 
string radar was recently selected by R&D magazine as one of the 100 
most technologically significant products introduced into the 
marketplace this year.
  The drill string radar attaches to systems that drill for natural 
resources. It can identify geological formations, locate the position 
of oil and gas deposits, and determine the thickness of coal seams. The 
use of the drill string radar will permit missed oil and gas reserves 
to be cost effectively and easily located. I have every expectation 
this capability will allow us to more efficiently utilize the resources 
we have. This ability will lessen our dependence upon foreign sources 
of energy, which is vital to our economic and strategic interest.
  I would also like to commend Dr. Larry Stolarczyk, founder and 
president of Stolar Research Corp. His accomplishments and commitment 
to his hometown of Raton are an example to all New Mexicans.
  This is the fourth industry award Stolar has received and I believe 
it will not be the last. I am very proud of Stolar's achievements. I 
congratulate them and encourage them to keep up the good work.
