  Ms. KILROY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Kottil Rammohan 
for nearly three decades of providing care to patients and conducting 
ground-breaking research in central Ohio. Dr. Rammohan, who is retiring 
from Ohio State University this year, has touched the lives of 
countless patients and people throughout the world living with Multiple 
Sclerosis (MS) or other neurological disorders.
  As a faculty member in the neurology department at OSU, Dr. 
Rammohan's dedication to MS research has led to numerous advancements 
in his field. One of his achievements was discovering a breakthrough in 
treating fatigue, a symptom that plagues many of those living MS. His 
discoveries help improve the quality of life for the hundreds of 
thousands of Americans who live with this disorder.
  Outside of OSU, Dr. Rammohan has been active in several medical 
organizations including the MS section of the American Academy of 
Neurology and the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers. He also has 
served as the acting chair of the Buckeye Chapter Clinical Advisory 
Committee and the national Clinical Care Committee for the National 
Multiple Sclerosis Society. His valuable contributions to the National 
Multiple Sclerosis Society have earned him recognition in its Volunteer 
Hall of Fame.
  Dr. Rammohan, who has been repeatedly recognized as one of America's 
Best Doctors, has been asset to our community for decades. On behalf of 
all Americans living with MS, I am happy to congratulate and thank Dr. 
Rammohan for his distinguished career in the field of neurology and for 
his lifelong devotion to helping others.
