      THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF ALBERT EINSTEIN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

 Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. In October 
of this year they will be celebrating their 40th anniversary. The 
Albert Einstein College of Medicine was established in 1955 and has 
become one of the Nation's leading centers for medical research and 
education.
  From an original class size of 56 students to a student body today of 
over 1,000 students this institution has produced a long line of 
outstanding graduates. Admissions to the program has always been 
extremely competitive and as recently as 1994, 9,000 candidates applied 
for 176 spots. A full-time faculty of over 1,000 teaches, delivers 
health care, and conducts studies in every major medical speciality and 
area of biomedical research. Particular areas of excellence in research 
for which the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is widely renown 
include Alzheimer's Disease, neuroscience, cancer, heart disease, 
diabetes, liver disease, AIDS, immunology and molecular genetics.
  Congratulations to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva 
University on their 40th anniversary.
