                       HONORING DR. LARRY DEBOER

  (Mr. BAIRD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Purdue University 
professor Dr. Larry DeBoer. I had the opportunity to work with Dr. 
DeBoer as a member of Purdue Extension Service as an Indiana State 
representative and as a farmer.
  Dr. DeBoer recently retired from Purdue after 36 years of teaching 
economics. His tenure at Purdue is distinguished and worthy of 
recognition. Every semester, he taught 200 to 400 students 
macroeconomics. In addition to that, he has authored macroeconomics 
textbooks for universities.
  Dr. DeBoer was recognized for his outstanding teaching with numerous 
awards, like the Charles B. Murphy Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching 
Award in 2015 and the Richard L. Kohls Outstanding Undergraduate 
Teacher Award in 2014.
  In addition to being a professor, Dr. DeBoer has advised and worked 
with the Indiana Legislative Services Agency on tax and finance issues, 
and has worked on former Governor Mitch Daniels' Commission on Local 
Government Reform.
  The State of Indiana has benefited greatly from his deep knowledge 
and expertise in the State's economic affairs. I want to wish Dr. 
DeBoer the very best in his retirement.
