  Mr. KNOLLENBERG. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. 
Peter B. Ajluni of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan on his election to the 
position of 111th president of the American Osteopathic Association.
  In 1965, Dr. Peter B. Ajluni graduated from the Chicago College of 
Osteopathy to become a board certified osteopathic physician. For 35 
years, Dr. Ajluni has delivered high quality service to his patients.
  Currently, Dr. Ajluni is a senior orthopedic surgeon in the Bone and 
Joint Center at the Regional Medical Center in Mount Clemens, Michigan. 
He has also served as president of both the Michigan Osteopathic 
Association and the Michigan Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedic 
Surgeons. Furthermore, Dr. Ajluni has served on the American 
Osteopathic Association Board of Trustees since 1998.
  As president of the American Osteopathic Association, Dr. Ajluni will 
lead 59,000 osteopathic physicians to deliver high quality and cost-
effective health care in this vital profession. In addition, Dr. Ajluni 
will help to ensure the osteopathic community is united in their 
profession and that they receive the highest quality of education and 
training programs.
  Dr. Ajluni resides in Michigan's Ninth Congressional district with 
his wife Judy. They have a daughter and two sons. I am proud to have 
the Ajluni family as constituents.
  Madam Speaker, once again, I congratulate Dr. Ajluni on his election 
as the President of the American Osteopathic Association and for his 
long dedication to high quality patient care.
