  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate James Allison, 
Ph.D for receiving the Lasker-Debakey Clinical Medical Research Award.
  Dr. Allison pioneered research on a new class of cancer treatment 
that allows for a patient's immune system to continuously attack 
cancerous tumors itself. The research expands the ability to provide 
patients with less invasive treatments to fight all different types of 
cancer. Dr. Allison's discovery is a massive breakthrough for cancer 
research and outstanding news for those who are unfortunately diagnosed 
with the disease.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to James Allison, Ph.D for receiving the 
prestigious Lasker-Debakey Clinical Medical Research Award. Thank you 
for your work to find a cure.
