Abstract

Abstract In recognition of his skill at conceiving rugged, elegant analytical methods that have helped further the consumer protection mission of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the 1987 AOAC Harvey W. Wiley Award was presented to Walter Holak at the 101st AOAC Annual International Meeting and Exposition in San Francisco, CA, Sept. 14, 1987. Holak began working for FDA on Dec. 10, 1962, the same year he became a member of AOAC. In the ensuing 25 years, he has developed many methods, perhaps the most significant being those to measure methyl mercury and iodine and that to determine "free" and "total" sulfites in foods. FDA recognized his achievements with a Commendable Service Award in 1979, and in the same year AOAC gave him the double honor of naming him Associate Referee of the Year and electing him a Fellow.
