  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Dr. Ann Louise 
Albright, Ph.D., RDN, for her work on the prevention and treatment of 
diabetes. Dr. Albright, who retires at the end of this year, should be 
celebrated and honored for her dedication and commitment to bringing an 
end to this disease that affects so many Americans.
  Dr. Albright's career has spanned political and international 
boundaries. She has represented the United States before the World 
Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) and as a member of the Board of 
Directors of the International Diabetic Athletes Association. Ann has 
worked for national agencies since early 2003. She first worked as a 
health policy advisor for the U.S. Surgeon General, and then in 2007 
became Director of the Division of Diabetes Translation, where she has 
been since.
  Dr. Albright's extensive knowledge and experience in her field have 
led to many awards. She has been recognized with the Hubert H. Humphrey 
Award for Service to America, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the 
YMCA, the Surgeon General's Medallion Award, and multiple awards from 
the American Diabetes Association, including the Outstanding Educator 
in Diabetes Award and the Josiah Kirby Lilly Distinguished Service 
Award, among others.
  I thank Dr. Albright for all she has done for those who live with 
diabetes every day. Her work with Congress, and particularly with the 
Diabetes Caucus, has been invaluable, and her unwavering commitment is 
an example for all those who continue her work. We wish her all the 
best in her well-deserved retirement.
