  Mr. NYE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Howard Jones, co-
founder of the Howard and Georgeanna Jones Foundation for Reproductive 
Medicine and the Jones Institute at Eastern Virginia Medical School, 
for the occasion of his 100th birthday. Dr. Howard Jones and his wife 
Dr. Georgeanna Jones pioneered in vitro fertilization and established 
the Jones Institute in 1983, following the birth of America's first in 
vitro baby in 1981. Two years later they helped establish the Jones 
Foundation to ensure that groundbreaking research in the field of 
reproductive medicine would continue for years to come. Today, the 
techniques developed by the Jones team are offered at clinics around 
the world and have helped countless couples conceive children. I wish 
you a happy birthday Dr. Jones, and I thank you for your invaluable 
contributions to American science.
