                      Wednesday, September 6, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bryce Benton, 
a graduate student in the masters program at the University of North 
Texas School of Library and Information Sciences, on receiving the Paul 
Evan Peters Award. This great honor is awarded jointly by the 
Association of Research Libraries, the Coalition for Networked 
Information and EDUCAUSE to individuals whose achievements in 
information science and librarianship move forward intellectual 
productivity and scholarship.
  Mr. Benton's most recent work with DSpace open source systems on an 
institutional repository pilot project at the University of North Texas 
has won him many accolades from his professors and fellow peers.
  Described as ``personable, enthusiastic, and as someone who possesses 
a `volunteering spirit,' '' and recognized by this award for his 
``civic responsibility, democratic values, and imagination,'' he will 
undoubtedly continue to advance the field of librarianship and 
information sciences.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Bryce Benton 
on receiving the Paul Evans Peters Award and commend his dedication and 
desire to helping promote scholarship and intellectual productivity.
