                       COMMEMORATING JOSEF BRODER

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Josef 
Broder for his dedication to the University of Georgia family as he 
enters retirement.
  Known as one of the university's most highly regarded educators, Dr. 
Broder was tasked with enhancing the college's teaching programs. His 
efforts resulted in record-breaking student enrollments, increased 
diversity in student representation, and greater participation in study 
abroad initiatives.
  As a Georgia resident, Josef Broder held prestigious titles, 
including D.W. Brooks Distinguished Professor of Agricultural and 
Applied Economics; Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor, and 
Distinguished University Professor.
  Dr. Broder played a pivotal role in establishing the Congressional 
Agriculture Fellowship Program and introducing degree programs on the 
Tifton and Griffin campuses.
  Having dedicated to two distinct terms as interim dean and director, 
Dr. Broder skillfully navigated the college through critical transition 
periods. Even after his leadership roles, he continued contributing his 
time as the associate dean for academic affairs.
  May Dr. Broder enjoy his well-earned retirement.
