                     TRIBUTE TO DR. BARDETT FAUSETT

<bullet> Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, today I have the honor of 
recognizing Dr. Bardett Fausett, of Missoula County, for his service in 
providing care and treatment to Montana mothers and babies.
  Early in his career, Dr. Fausett made the decision to serve his 
country in the U.S. Air Force. After serving his country, he was able 
to afford to go to medical school and provide for his young family 
after college. After serving 25 years in the Air Force, Dr. Fausett 
retired from his military service earned a position at the Missoula 
Community Medical Center.
  Dr. Fausett went to Missoula with the hope of serving the community 
and providing care and treatment for mothers and their babies. Fausett 
took up the challenge of handling mothers with very complicated 
pregnancies and medical issues.
  As a maternal fetal medicine specialist, he focused on treating 
babies and mothers while the baby is still in the womb. Pregnant 
mothers from all over the region with complicated medical issues 
traveled to see Dr. Fausett with the hope that he could help their 
families.
  In his 5 years in Missoula, Dr. Fausett has delivered about 1,200 
babies.
  His service to our Nation in the U.S. Air Force as well as his 
dedication to continue his service by providing care to Montana mothers 
and babies is exemplary of the Montana spirit. He has changed the lives 
of many families across Montana by giving them personal care through 
challenging times.<bullet>
