                        Wednesday, March 1, 2006

  Mr. BOSWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Jerry 
Bradley, who has been named the Ivan D. Livi Aviation Educator of the 
Year by the Aviation Technician Education Council. The Aviation 
Technician Education Council is an organization of the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) founded to further the standing of FAA approved 
schools. This award recognizes outstanding achievement of an aviation 
maintenance technology instructor.
  As a general aviation pilot and member of House Transportation and 
Infrastructure Committee's Subcommittee on Aviation, I am greatly 
impressed by the work Mr. Bradley, his colleagues and his students 
perform on a daily basis. The Aviation Technologies Program, which Mr. 
Bradley chairs, provides students in the Des Moines area with a unique 
opportunity to gain valuable skills and lessons, which they can carry 
forward throughout their careers. I commend Mr. Bradley for leading a 
program, which continues to be a model of success for schools in Iowa 
and throughout the United States.
  Again, congratulations to Mr. Jerry Bradley for earning the Ivan D. 
Livi Aviation Educator of the Year Award. This honors his work, the Des 
Moines Public Schools Aviation Technologies Program, and his students.
