 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the newly 
elected President of the American Osteopathic Association, Dr. Eugene 
Oliveri.

medicine. Throughout his career, he has maintained the strongest of 
commitments to the highest level of medical standards. From his early 
days as an undergraduate at Brooklyn College in new York, Dr. Oliveri 
has distinguished himself for his extensive knowledge and tireless 
support of osteopathy. Dedicated to helping others, Dr. Oliveri took 
two years off from his personal studies to work in the U.S. Army 
Medical Corps. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Oliveri has raised three 
wonderful children: Gregory, Lisa, and Michelle.
  Dr. Oliveri serves on numerous professional boards, and is currently 
practicing at Botsford General Hospital in Farmington Hills, Michigan, 
as the senior member of the Department of Internal Medicine. He also 
serves as a director of a fellowship program and chairman of a section 
of Gastroenterology at Botsford Hospital. Most recently, he has also 
served as a Vice-

on this tremendous honor. I am confident that the American Osteopathic 
Association will be well served during his tenure as President.
