  Mr. ALEXANDER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Dr. Khem 
Aggarwal for his outstanding contributions to the field of higher 
education.
  Dr. Aggarwal has been an educator in higher education for over 50 
years, having served in his homeland, India, for 13 years, at the 
University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, Wis., from 1983 to 1986, Temple 
University, Philadelphia, Pa., from 1981 to 1983, and currently serving 
as Professor of Mathematics at Louisiana State University at 
Alexandria, Alexandria, La., where he has been teaching since 1986.
  Dr. Aggarwal has made a tremendous impact on the achievements and 
successes of students who have enrolled in his college courses. His 
first priority has and continues to be ensuring the academic 
development of his students, as evidenced by time spent with them both 
inside and outside of the classroom setting.
  Throughout his tenure at Louisiana State University at Alexandria, 
alumnae as well as university graduates have consistently reported how 
Dr. Aggarwal contributed to their success in their chosen career 
fields. Moreover, his colleagues regard him as an excellent professor 
and deem him a gracious and grateful person deserving of recognition 
and honor for his active role in the advancement of higher education.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in commending Dr. Khem 
Aggarwal for his exceptional contributions and remarkable influence on 
the field of higher education.
