                 AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

 Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, today I wish to commend the American 
Academy of Arts and Sciences on the occasion of the institution's 
October 1, 2011, induction ceremony for the 231st class of members in 
Cambridge, MA. These 211 new members earned election to the American 
Academy of Arts and Sciences for extraordinary individual achievement 
and are among the world's most influential artists, scientists, 
scholars, authors, and institutional leaders. In accepting membership 
into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, these individuals 
agreed to contribute their talents, experience, and knowledge to help 
the academy advance the Nation's social welfare.
  The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is an august, 
quintessentially American institution founded by Massachusetts' own 
John Adams and other scholar-patriots during our Nation's struggle for 
independence. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is currently 
chaired by Louis W. Cabot and led by President Leslie C. Berlowitz and 
is a vital center of knowledge focused on the great challenges and 
concerns of the day, from science and technology policy to global 
security; social policy to the humanities; and culture, and education.
  I won't read all 211 of the new members' names, but listed among 
these brilliant individuals are;

[[Page 14459]]

  Dr. Daniel Arie Haber, the leading physician-scientist whose research 
has focused on the molecular genetics of human cancer. He identified 
genes implicated in breast cancer development and in Wilms' tumor, a 
children's kidney cancer.
  Chester C. Langway, Jr., who is responsible for launching the era of 
deep ice core drilling programs. He recruited scientists from other 
disciplines and countries to work on ice cores and collaborated closely 
with them. Consequently, international teams of scientists have 
extracted fundamental information from ice cores, and studies have 
provided detailed climatological and other environmental data, over a 
geological time period including the Holocene and late Pleistocene 
ages, on the regional and global conditions existing at the time of 
snow deposit. Results reveal man's impact on the changing environment 
and long-term evidence regarding abrupt global climate changes and led 
to discovery of the Dansgaard-Oeschger event.
  Dr. W. Jason Morgan, who was the first to propose that Earth's 
surface is made up of a number of rigid crustal blocks, establishing 
the kinematic framework for the paradigm of plate tectonics, which 
revolutionized the study of Earth and its history.
  Also included in this group is Robert Kraft, who is probably best 
known as the owner of our beloved New England Patriots but has also 
dedicated his life to advancing science, philanthropy, the arts, and 
education.
  I am including for the Record the names of all 211 inductees into the 
American Academy of Arts and Sciences. I wish them all the best and 
thank them for their contribution to the knowledge of our Nation.
  The information follows:
