  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Dr. David Welsh for his 
contribution to our state and his community.
  This year, Dr. Welsh was honored for Excellence in State Advocacy for 
his lifelong commitment to advocating on behalf of patients in

Indiana and his encouragement of other surgeons to engage in advocacy. 
Our state is better off today because of his extraordinary leadership 
and service.
  On a personal note, the Doc is among my closest friends in politics 
and was one of my earliest and most vocal supporters. I want to thank 
him for his friendship and incredible support of my work in Congress. I 
wish him continued success in all that God has planned for him and his 
family.
