                      Wednesday, December 10, 2008

  Mr. AKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of our 
Missouri of University Chancellors. Several weeks ago, Dr. Thomas 
Friedrich George was honored by the University of Szeged in Hungary. 
Chancellor George was awarded the honorary title Doctor Honoris Causa 
by the University of Szeged in recognition of his outstanding and 
cooperative scientific work that has been carried out in support of the 
University of Szeged over many years.
  While serving as Chancellor at the University of Missouri--St. Louis, 
Chancellor George also serves as a professor of chemistry and physics 
and researcher in chemical, materials and laser physics at the 
University.
  This recognition of Chancellor George is not only a significant 
personal achievement; it is also an honor for the University of 
Missouri System and the St. Louis region.
  I am pleased to be able to honor Chancellor George today. He is a 
shining example of the great leadership we have in Missouri and I know 
all of my colleagues join me in congratulating him on this 
distinguished honor.
