                         Friday, July 27, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. George 
Inglett who is turning 90 years old. Dr. Inglett is a pillar in the 
Peoria community, and has advocated for a safer and healthier food 
supply at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research.
  Dr. George Inglett is best known for the development of a family of 
food ingredients based on cereal glucans, known collectively as the 
Trim Technologies. His research on these ingredients has led to them 
being used as fat substitutes, fiber additives, texturizers, and 
emulsion stabilizers in many foods. In 2005, Dr. Inglett was chosen as 
one of the Laureates of the Lincoln Academy of Illinois, the highest 
honor the State of Illinois can bestow on a person who was born or has 
resided in Illinois for outstanding achievement. Over the course of his 
career Dr. Inglett has been presented numerous awards for his years of 
work in agricultural research.
  It is because of dedicated and selfless leaders such as Dr. George 
Inglett that I am especially proud to serve Illinois 17th Congressional 
District. Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Dr. 
George Inglett on his 90th birthday and thank him for all of his 
contributions and service to our community.
