  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
John B. ``Jack'' Newkirk for his induction into the Jefferson County

that have significantly impacted and contributed to the Jefferson 
County community.

   One of Jack's greatest contributions to our community is his medical 
device inventions. He and his wife, Carol, started companies that 
distributed life-saving medical devices. These medical devices have 
improved the quality of life for thousands of people around the world.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Jack for his outstanding 
contributions to the world of medicine and well-deserved recognition 
from the Jefferson County Business Community.
