                       HONORING DR. MAY BERENBAUM

  (Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Dr. May Berenbaum for being named a recipient of the 
National Medal of Science.
  Dr. Berenbaum is a world-class entomologist at the University of 
Illinois, whose exceptional contributions to insect research have 
earned her this top award which she received at the White House last 
month.
  A leading voice on the issue of pollinator health, Dr. Berenbaum has 
been critical to policymakers and to peers alike. After all, we have 
pollinators to thank for one out of every three bites of food that we 
have, and we have Dr. May Berenbaum to thank for being a leading 
researcher and enthusiastic voice in helping us sustain the pollinator 
population.
  As a supporter of the National Science Foundation research and 
agricultural research, I come to the floor today, Mr. Speaker, to again 
congratulate Dr. May Berenbaum. Our area is very proud of you for 
receiving this honor.
