  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Dr. John M. Poate for his prominent career and service to energy 
conservation and environmental research. For over fifty years Dr. Poate 
has been active in research and development in the renewable energy 
sector. His personal research activities span several areas of solid 
state physics, materials science and engineering. He led a 
distinguished research career at Bell Labs where he headed the Silicon 
Processing Research Department. Since then he has served as Dean at New 
Jersey Institute of Technology, Chief Technology Officer of a 
semiconductor capital equipment company, and the vice president of 
Research and Technology Transfer at the Colorado School of Mines.
   Dr. Poate has served on many advisory panels during his career such 
as NATO, NSF, NRC, DOE and International Universities. He continues his 
work on the Board of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and 
chairing the Director's Review Committee for the Physical and Life 
Sciences of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He is a Fellow of 
the American Physical Society and Materials Research Society, MRS past-
president, and the John Bardeen award winner of the TMS.
   To say he is an accomplished research scientist is an 
understatement. Dr. Poate's dedication and enthusiasm for research is 
reflected in his authorship of over 300 publications in archival 
journals as well as 12 patents.
   I extend my deepest thanks to Dr. Poate for his service to the 
science community. Thank you for your continuous dedication to 
research.
