                    THE JEWISH HOSPITAL OF ST. LOUIS

  (Mr. TALENT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of the outstanding 
work of the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis. In conjunction with BJC 
Health System and Washington University School of Medicine, the 
hospital will be honored in a White House Ceremony today. It is being 
awarded a multiyear humanitarian grant to work with health care 
facilities in Riga, Latvia.
  The St. Louis health professionals will be working with three 
hospitals including Riga's State Hospital for Children, as well as the 
maternity and local jewish hospitals. Working to improve the quality 
and delivery of health care, the St. Louis mission will lend its 
expertise to a community that needs guidance modernizing medical 
techniques and privatizing its healthcare system.
  The staff of the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis is reaching across 
geographical, linguistic and ideological barriers to help those who 
need it most, the children and the infirm.
  It is my pleasure to be able to express our gratitude for the work of 
the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis which has healed so many lives at home 
and will now heal many lives around the world.
