                 TRIBUTE TO NATIONAL NURSING HOME WEEK

 Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I rise today to call to the 
attention of the Senate the celebration of National Nursing Home Week 
from May 8 through 14, 1994.
  National Nursing Home Week honors the tireless and unselfish work of 
those who serve our Nation's nursing homes. I proudly recognize the 
dedication and commitment these workers have to improving the lives of 
others. We must all honor the contributions these outstanding citizens 
perform.
  Nursing homes across the Nation provide our citizens with services 
that make up an integral part of our health care system. One example of 
the many facilities that provide such top quality care to its residents 
is the Plaza Nursing and Convalescent Center, located in my homestate 
of New Jersey.
  Let us all salute and applaud the efforts made by those who work in 
nursing homes as we celebrate this very special week.
