                  CELEBRATING THE CAREER OF JIM MOYER

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jim Moyer, 
associate dean of research at Washington State University, and to 
congratulate him on his retirement. Jim graduated from Washington State 
in 1971 and went on to pursue several higher degrees and academic 
achievements.
  He is prominently renowned as a plant pathologist, having served as 
the president of the American Phytopathological Society, and his 
research contributions have earned him both national and international 
recognition. He received the USDA Agricultural Research Service's 
Morrison Medal before he returned to Pullman to serve as the associate 
dean of research for WSU's College of Agriculture, Human, and Natural 
Resource Sciences.
  In this position, he advocated for agriculture stakeholders and 
supported research in Washington State and across the country. He 
testified before the House Agriculture Committee and has led WSU to be 
number one in USDA research and development expenditures in fiscal year 
2016.
  Jim and I have worked closely together since I came to Congress, and 
I am grateful for all he has done for my alma mater. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in celebrating his successful career, and I wish 
him the best in his retirement.
  Go, Cougars.
