  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Professor Masood 
Khatamee, MD as he is honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by 
Banou, Inc. at their Nowruz celebration on March 16, 2018. It is truly 
a fitting tribute to honor Dr. Khatamee at this commemoration of the 
Persian New Year as he is an ardent supporter of the Iranian-American 
community.
  A Clinical Professor at the New York University School of Medicine 
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Khatamee is a leader in 
both the medical and Persian communities. Dr. Khatamee served as 
President of the Iranian American Medical Association from 1999 to 
2000, is a member and a past president of the Board of Directors of the 
Shiraz University School of Medicine Alumni Association and is an 
Honorary Member of the Russian American Medical Association.
  Dr. Khatamee is a renowned physician, receiving the distinction of 
Physician of the Year by the White House and the United States Congress 
as well as the selection as a Top 10 Iranian-American Physician in the 
United States, among other awards and accolades. Notably, Dr. Khatamee 
was also nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize in Medicine.
  In addition to his work at the New York University School of 
Medicine, Dr. Khatamee is the Executive Director of the Fertility 
Research Foundation, Founder and Director of the Society for the 
Prevention of Human Infertility and a lecturer at the Columbia School 
of Biomedical Engineering.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Dr. Masood Khatamee on receiving the Banou, Inc. 
Lifetime Achievement Award. This honor is truly deserving of this 
body's recognition.
