                        TRIBUTE TO LORRAINE PACE

                                 ______


                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 6, 1995
  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues in the House 
of Representatives to join me in congratulating Lorraine Pace on the 
occasion of her induction into the Suffolk County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Mrs. Pace's induction is the culmination of her public and private 
dedication to the survivors of breast cancer. Her tireless activism has 
made her a role model and an inspiration for all women.
  A Long Islander who is all too aware of the high incidence of breast 
cancer on Long Island, Lorraine continues to be at the forefront of the 
fight against breast cancer in Suffolk County. As the breast cancer 
education specialist at the Stony Brook University Medical Center, Mrs. 
Pace is uniquely qualified to lead this fight that all too many women 
on Long Island and throughout this Nation must face in their lifetime. 
The American Cancer Society estimates that 182,000 women were diagnosed 
with breast cancer last year alone. Approximately 46,500 women died 
from the disease in 1994.
  As the fight to prevent, and find a cure for breast cancer goes 
forward, Lorraine Pace takes an honored place in the Suffolk County 
Women's Hall of Fame.
  I ask all my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Lorraine Pace on her induction and lauding her for many 
years of work on behalf of the women of Suffolk County.
