        DEPARTURE OF OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. ALUTTO

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, we have heard a lot about education today, 
probably because education is the economic engine of our future.
  Ohio State University plays a pivotal role in K-Life education. It is 
located in my district, and it serves not only my district but the 
Nation.
  Today, I rise to acknowledge Ohio State University's outgoing interim 
president, Dr. Joseph Alutto, a former colleague and a friend, and to 
welcome incoming president, Dr. Michael Drake.
  Thank you, Joe Alutto, for your leadership in preparing our next 
generation of teachers, artists, medical, corporate, and community 
leaders. In an era where innovation in science and technology and 
creative entrepreneurialism will determine our global station in the 
world, it is critical that we have capable leaders at the helm of our 
education and research institutions.
  I thank Joseph Alutto for his service to Ohio State University, the 
single-largest campus university in the country. God speed and good 
luck.
