on behalf of the Illinois delegation, I am pleased to introduce the newest member of our delegation in the House, Congressman Bill Foster, from the 14th District of Illinois. Bill resides in Geneva, Illinois, and has lived in the Fox Valley for almost 25 years. Bill has a diverse background in both business and science. He started a very successful theater lighting business with his younger brother when he was only 19 years old, and he went on to receive his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard. Bill worked at Fermilab for 22 years, where he designed research projects and built the latest round of the particle accelerators. Bill comes from a family with a strong history of working for the public good, and we look forward to working with him on behalf of his constituents and the Nation. Madam Speaker and Members of the House, please welcome our newest colleague, Congressman Bill Foster from the 14th District of Illinois.
