                RETIREMENT OF HOUSE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN

                                 ______


                           HON. MARILYN LLOYD

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mrs. LLOYD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute a great public 
servant, a man of complete dedication to duty and a person of great 
talent--my friend, Dr. Robert Krasner.
  There are few individuals in this body that have touched and helped 
and counseled as many as Dr. Krasner. He has always been there for us. 
Whether we need most qualified medical services or just an encouraging 
word to us through the day, Dr . Krasner was there with a smile. I will 
miss him.
  Mr. Speaker, in June 1991, I was diagnosed with a breast malignancy. 
Today, I am cancer-free and well. I give Dr. Krasner much of the 
credit. Although I was in Tennessee for my surgery, Dr. Krasner stayed 
in touch daily and when I returned to Washington, he found a fine 
oncologist to provide treatment for recovery and continued to monitor 
my progress.
  Dr. Krasner has served us well and we wish him only the best as he 
moves on to other challenges.
