 CONGRATULATING UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR GREGORY 
               SALAMO ON 2009 U.S. PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. Gregory 
Salamo for being named a 2009 United States Professor of the Year. Dr. 
Salamo, distinguished professor of physics and a Fellow of the Optical 
Society of America, joined the faculty at the University of Arkansas in 
1975. Since then he has regularly demonstrated extraordinary leadership 
and commitment to his students and area of study. He continuously works 
to expand interdisciplinary research and education by establishing new 
degree programs and courses which have provided greater educational and 
career opportunities for students and faculty. His research is widely 
published, and his hard work makes him a model of success for students 
as well as for fellow educators.
  I commend Dr. Salamo for his passion for educating and wish him 
success in all future endeavors. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring an educator whose accomplishments and devotion to the 
University of Arkansas have not gone unnoticed.
