  Mr. SCHWARZ of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to take this 
opportunity to commend Michigan State University Dean George E. Leroi 
for his service to the students of Michigan State University, and his 
significant contribution to the success of the College of Natural 
Sciences. George Leroi's long career includes service as an assistant 
professor of chemistry at Princeton University and as a professor of 
chemistry at Michigan State University. During his tenure at both of 
these fine academic institutions, Dr. Leroi guided, supported, taught, 
befriended, and counseled numerous students throughout both their 
academic and professional careers.
  Dr. Leroi was awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship, a SURF Research 
Fellowship with the U.S. National Bureau of Standards, and served as a 
Research Collaborator with the National Synchrotron Light Source at 
Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 1996, George Leroi was named as the 
Dean of the College of Natural Sciences at Michigan State University, 
and he continues to serve in that position today. Dr. George Leroi's 
significant experience in chemistry and his personal commitment to the 
success of the Michigan State University College of Natural Sciences 
brings great credit to himself, the State of Michigan, and the United 
States of America, and we recognize him upon the date of his 
retirement, October 6, 2006.
