                HONORING THE CAREER OF DR. ANNE SCHUCHAT

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor CDC's Principal Deputy Director Anne Schuchat for her outstanding 
career in medicine and public health.
  Dr. Schuchat joined the CDC in 1988 as an Epidemic Intelligence 
Service officer. Since joining the agency, she has served as chief of 
the Respiratory Diseases Branch, director of the National Center For 
Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and as acting CDC director twice.
  Her contributions have been recognized by an election to the National 
Academy of Medicine, and she has received the United States Public 
Health Service's Distinguished Service Medal and the Association of 
State and Territorial Health Officials Lifetime Achievement Award, 
among many other awards and recognitions.
  Dr. Schuchat has dedicated her life to improving public health around 
the world and has inspired many young women to go into medicine and 
public health.
  As a lifelong healthcare professional, I congratulate Dr. Schuchat on 
her retirement and commend her for her hard work over the past 33 
years.
