  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hal C. Lawrence 
III, M.D. After eleven years of service, Dr. Lawrence recently retired 
as the executive vice president and chief executive officer of the 
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
   During his tenure at ACOG, Dr. Lawrence led the organization's work 
to support OB/GYNS, advance health care, and strengthen ACOG's position 
within the health care industry. Earlier in his career, Dr. Lawrence 
was a practicing OB/GYN in Asheville, North Carolina from 1979 to 2007.
   As a fellow physician, I thank Dr. Lawrence for his long service to 
OB/GYNs and American patients. I am grateful for his partnership as we 
worked toward shared goals, and congratulate him on his retirement.
