                       AMERICAN PHARMACISTS MONTH

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Carter) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize October 
2016 as American Pharmacists Month. During the month of October, we 
recognize the pharmacists across America who work each day to guarantee 
that Americans have access to important and often lifesaving 
medications.
  As the only pharmacist in Congress, I am proud to recognize the work 
that pharmacists across America are doing to ensure our Nation's 
health. Every day, pharmacists counsel patients on prescriptions and 
over-the-counter medications, helping to relieve patients' pain, and 
provide vaccines for a number of illnesses. Further, pharmacists are 
considered one of the top three most trusted professionals in America.
  During this month, as well as throughout the year, I encourage 
everyone to visit your pharmacist, ask questions about your 
prescriptions, receive advice about preventative care, and simply get 
to know the person who provides your medicine and helps to keep you 
healthy.
  To my fellow pharmacists, thank you for what you do. Please know your 
work is appreciated and you are an important part of keeping our Nation 
healthy. It is an honor to be your voice in the United States Congress.


                         Remembering Jack Davis

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
remarkable life of Jack Davis, a beloved and brilliant cartoonist from 
St. Simons Island.
  Mr. Davis' passion for cartoons began at the age of 12 when he read 
his first cartoon magazine. As his talent in drawing cartoons 
flourished, he created astonishing artwork for the University of 
Georgia, depicting action-packed football scenes in a very unique 
style.
  Nationally, he may have been best known for his work with MAD 
magazine and his artwork of the magazine's star character, Alfred E. 
Neuman. Executives at MAD magazine say there wasn't anything that Jack 
couldn't do.
  In addition, Mr. Davis designed for other companies, including 
DreamWorks, ESPN, Paramount Pictures, Indianapolis Speedway, and The 
Varsity drive-in in Atlanta.
  It is an honor to recognize Mr. Jack Davis, and I could not speak 
more highly of his talents. He will truly be missed by the First 
District of Georgia, the Bulldog Nation, and everyone who knew of him 
and his artistic gift.


                Congratulating the University of Georgia

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
University of Georgia as well as its impressive students, faculty, and 
staff.
  On September 12, the U.S. News and World Report ranked UGA the 
eighteenth best university in America. This is clearly not an easy 
feat. UGA continues to work tirelessly to provide the best education 
for its undergraduate students, and its hard work is being noticed.
  One example of UGA's commitment to its students involves its emphasis 
on experienced-based learning. UGA is the Nation's largest public 
university to include this type of learning in its overall curriculum. 
From internships and study-abroad options to research projects, the 
opportunities at this great university are endless.
  In addition to these possibilities, UGA has also strengthened its 
faculty and course options by adding 50 new faculty members and 
expanding the course selection by 300 classes in high-demand subjects. 
UGA has truly created a small-class experience in a very large 
university.
  Congratulations to the University of Georgia on these 
accomplishments, and Go Dawgs.


                       Congratulating Matt Kuchar

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. 
Matt Kuchar of St. Simons Island, Georgia.
  Mr. Kuchar competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics and won a bronze medal 
in the men's individual golf competition. He completed his fantastic 
Olympic week at 13 under par with a final round of 63, describing it as 
the round of his life.
  This great week does not come simply by chance for Mr. Kuchar. He has 
worked tirelessly over the past years to improve his game and has 
consistently been near the lead in many important tournaments.
  In 1997, he began his stellar career as an All-American at Georgia 
Tech. Then

in 2000, he turned to the professional ranks.
  In his 16 years as a pro, he has had 12 professional wins, including 
important tournaments such as the 2012 Players Championship, the 2013 
Memorial Tournament, and the 2014 RBC Heritage.
  Mr. Kuchar's smile and personality is an inspiration to all golfers. 
He is notoriously one of the nicest players on the professional 
circuit. It is an honor to recognize him today.
  Mr. Kuchar, you made Georgia's First Congressional District very, 
very proud.
