                        Wednesday, June 16, 1999

  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, Dr. Gary Schneider, one of the foremost 
experts on forestry at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is 
retiring this year.
  Dr. Schneider has been an asset to the University for many years, 
having served as a Professor and Head of the Department of Forestry, 
Wildlife and Fisheries. Currently, he serves as the Associate Dean of 
Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at UT.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Schneider has also served as a consultant for many 
organizations including, the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Forest 
Service, U.S. Agency for International Development and many others. 
Additionally, he has published several academic articles.
  Dr. Schneider has advanced the study of forestry and related fields 
during his tenure at the University of Tennessee, and I know that his 
leadership and expertise will be missed.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that I join with his friends, family and 
colleagues in congratulating Dr. Gary Schneider for an outstanding 
career at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
