                         Thursday, May 12, 1994

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your 
attention the fine work and outstanding public service of Dr. Bernie 
Goler of San Bernardino, CA. Dr. Goler will be honored for his 
leadership, on May 21, as he is presented with the Rabbi Norman F. 
Feldheym Award at a gala dinner dance commemorating the 103d 
anniversary of Congregation Emanu El.
  Bernie Goler was born in Memphis, TN, and received his undergraduate 
degree from Tulane University and Southwestern College. He received his 
M.D. degree from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in 
1965. After a medical internship and Radiology residency in St. Louis, 
he was activated into the active duty Naval Reserve and served as a 
medical officer during Vietnam. He was honorably discharged with the 
rank of lieutenant commander in 1969. After completing his residency in 
Radiology at Wadsworth Veterans Hospital, Dr. Goler was certified by 
the American Board of Radiology in 1971 and the American Board of 
Nuclear Medicine the following year.
  Dr. Goler came to San Bernardino in 1971 and joined the Radiology 
Department of St. Bernardine Medical Center. Since that time, he has 
led the development of the department from a two-room facility to the 
premiere facility of its kind in the Inland Empire. During this time, 
he has served in a variety of instrumental capacities including medical 
director of the Radiology Department from 1983-93.
  Over the years, Dr. Goler has been an active member of a number of 
civic and community-based organizations. He has served on the board of 
the Lung Association and is currently on the board of the Inland Empire 
Symphony. As a valued member of Congregation Emanu El, he has served in 
numerous leadership capacities including president from 1988-90. A 
supporter of Hadassah, he has also served as president and campaign 
chairman of the San Bernardino United Jewish Welfare Fund.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me and our colleagues in paying 
tribute to this most deserving and outstanding man. Throughout his 
life, Dr. Goler has demonstrated a tremendous commitment to the 
betterment of our community and has touched the lives of many people. 
It is only fitting that the House recognize him today.
