  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Thomas C. 
McGuire, an associate professor of English and Fine Arts at the United 
States Air Force Academy, who has been named the Colorado winner of the 
2007 U.S. Professors of the Year Award. Since 1981, this program has 
saluted outstanding undergraduate instructors throughout the country.
  This award is recognized as one of the most prestigious honors 
bestowed upon a professor. To be nominated for this award requires 
dedication to the art of education and excellence in every aspect of 
the profession. Mr. McGuire is personally committed to each student and 
has helped to shape the leaders of tomorrow's Air Force. We are all 
proud of his accomplishment.
  I commend Mr. McGuire for his leadership and dedication. Mr. 
McGuire's passion has no doubt inspired an untold number of students. 
It is excellent professors like Mr. McGuire that have enabled the 
United States Air Force Academy to become one of the very best 
institutions of higher learning in the nation. I wish today to 
congratulate Mr. McGuire and the Academy on this tremendous honor.
