                                 ______
                                 

                    TRIBUTE TO DR. ADEWALE TROUTMAN

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I wish to pay tribute to Dr. 
Adewale Troutman. Dr. Troutman was recently appointed to the position 
of Louisville Metro Health Director. Dr. Troutman, who formerly served 
as head of the health department in Fulton, GA, will

also serve Kentucky as a faculty member of the University of 
Louisville's School of Public Health.
  Dr. Troutman hails from New York City's South Bronx and has 
considerable health care experience in both the United States and 
Nigeria. In addition to serving as head of the health department in 
Fulton, GA, he has also served as a senior scientist at Morehouse 
University College of Medicine with former U.S. Surgeon General David 
Satcher.
  Dr. Troutman brings vision and leadership to a position that will 
influence the well-being and livelihoods of many Kentuckians. Some of 
the issues Dr. Troutman endeavors to undertake include access to health 
care for the uninsured and the disparity in health services based on 
race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
  I am pleased to honor Dr. Troutman as a new addition to Kentucky's 
health care leadership. We are fortunate to have his direction and look 
forward to the considerable progress his tenure and administration 
promises to produce. I thank the Senate for allowing me to pay tribute 
to our newest Kentuckian.
