  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. 
Christopher J. Quinn on his selection as President-Elect of the 
American Optometric Association (AOA). Dr. Quinn will be installed as 
the AOA's 96th President during the 120th Congress of the House of

dedication to the association and the greater medical community. He has 
served on the Board of Trustees since 2008 and is a liaison trustee to 
the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education and the American 
Academy of Optometry. Throughout his career, Dr. Quinn has also been a 
member of the AOA Federal Relations Committee, the AOA State Government 
Relations Committee, and has also served as an AOA representative to 
the American Medical Association's Resource Based Relative Value 
Upstate Committee--Health Care Professionals Advisory Committee.
  In addition to his experience with the AOA, Dr. Quinn is past 
president of the New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians, a Fellow 
of the American Academy of Optometry and is an adjunct professor at the 
Pennsylvania College of Optometry, State University of New York, New 
England College of Optometry, University of California at Berkeley and 
The Ohio State University. He is also the owner and president of Omni 
Eye Services in New Jersey.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Dr. Quinn as President-Elect of the American Optometric 
Association and thanking him for his commitment to his patients and the 
field of optometry.
