                           JEFFREY WADSWORTH

  (Mr. WAMP asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. Jeffrey 
Wadsworth on his induction into the National Academy of Engineering. 
Election to the academy is among the highest distinctions that the 
engineering profession can bestow. I can think of no one more deserving 
of this honor.
  Dr. Wadsworth is a world-renowned metallurgist. He became a United 
States citizen and has had a distinguished career at Lockheed, Lawrence 
Livermore National Lab, and Battelle Memorial Institute. He has devoted 
himself to finding ways of using science and technology to improve our 
Nation, compiling a stellar record of contributions and earning 
numerous awards.
  Since 2003, Dr. Wadsworth has been the director of the Oak Ridge 
National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Under his leadership, the 
lab has continued as one of the world's premier research institutions 
for material sciences and energy research. Dr. Wadsworth was elected to 
the academy in recognition of his research and leadership in national 
defense and science programs.
  Congratulations to Dr. Jeffrey Wadsworth on his induction into the 
National Academy of Engineering and his service to Oak Ridge, 
Tennessee.
  Jeff, thank you for your many contributions.
