                       Monday, September 19, 2022

  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Daniel 
Albert Boryta, an exemplary North Carolinian who worked as a chemist 
for Cypress Foot Mineral Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
  Daniel is remembered by many not only for his bright smile and 
friendly demeanor, but also for his innumerable contributions to the 
field of chemistry.
  His bailiwick was producing innovative compounds that involved 
lithium.
  From creating solutions to extract lithium from salt brines in Chile 
to his patented lithium hydroxide compound that's still used in space 
exploration by NASA, Daniel's accomplishments are second to none. The 
impact of his work has made a profound impact upon society.
  Madam Speaker, I'm confident that generations of Americans to come 
will look upon Daniel's work, and the vibrant legacy that he has left 
behind, in pure admiration.
