                 KUDOS FOR MEDICAL LEADER DR. NEIL WARD

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Neil 
Ward on the occasion of his upcoming retirement from the American 
Academy of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.
  Dr. Ward has been a caring and passionate practitioner of medicine 
for over 30 years, holding every leadership position in the 12,000 
member international organization which specializes in treating 
patients with problems of the ears, nose, and throat.
  After receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of 
Arizona, Tucson, in 1956, Dr. Ward served as a pilot in the U.S. Air 
Force; and following discharge in 1959, he decided to devote his life 
to helping and healing others. He came to Washington, D.C. to attend 
the George Washington School of Medicine with the goal of becoming a 
physician and making a difference in people's lives.
  Not only has Dr. Ward made a lasting mark on his community as a 
doctor; he has also inspired a new generation of physicians as a 
lecturer and teacher and has advanced science and medicine through his 
published papers. It is my privilege to salute a fellow physician and 
respected colleague and join in congratulating him on his retirement.
