                      Wednesday, October 23, 2013

  Mr. KING of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. 
Shetal Shah and his efforts to promote the well-being of our nation's 
most vulnerable population, our children.
  As a neonatologist and researcher, Dr. Shah has made many meaningful 
contributions to the medical field, notably in the area of vaccination 
rates. As legislative chairman of District II of the American Academy 
of Pediatrics, Dr. Shah has been tireless in his advocacy efforts in 
pursuit of increased access to health care for children and greater 
funding for pediatric research. His breadth of knowledge has helped to 
inform policy decisions on both the state and federal level.
  I offer my gratitude to Dr. Shah on behalf of myself and on behalf of 
those who are undoubtedly better off due to his efforts.
