                        Wednesday, June 26, 2013

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent of 
mine, Dr. Mitchell T. Munson, of Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Dr. Munson 
will soon be elected president of the American Optometric Association 
(AOA) during their 116th annual meeting, where he will be installed as 
the association's 91st president on Saturday, June 29, 2013, in San 
Diego, California.
  Dr. Munson is a graduate of the Southern California College of 
Optometry and has a private practice in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He 
has been a leader in his profession at the local, state, and national 
levels. The Colorado Optometric Association (COA) named him Young 
Optometrist of the Year in 1993 and he became president of the COA in 
1995. Dr. Munson is a past president of the Southwest Council of 
Optometry and a Fellow in the American Academy of Optometry.
  Dr. Munson has built a renowned record of service and leadership in 
his profession and I am confident that he will have a very successful 
term as president of the AOA. The sixth District of Colorado is proud 
to have Dr. Munson as a constituent and I join his family, friends, and 
colleagues in congratulating him on this achievement and wishing him 
the very best of luck.
