              CREATIVE APPROACH TO INTERNATIONAL MEDICINE

                                 ______


                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 12, 1995

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the visiting 
doctors from Zhong Shan Hospital and welcome them all to the United 
States. The visit is being celebrated at a reception and dinner on 
Tuesday, October 17, 1995.
  The visit reciprocates the very successful and beneficial visit that 
representatives from the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, 

[[Page E 1940]]
the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and the Robert 
Wood Johnson Medical School made to Shanghai last year. These exchange 
visits are designated to improve the knowledge and understanding of 
knowledgeable practitioners of our two countries. It is therefore a 
sincere pleasure to recognize this visit as an important step in what I 
believe is the right direction for the future. As globalization of the 
economy and the environment increase in importance these joint efforts 
to establish good relationships enabling important scientific research 
to be shared across borders will be of significant importance to us all 
in the future. We will all benefit from this initiative establishing 
this highly successful relationship at such an early stage.
  I find this effort to correspond perfectly with the needs of 
tomorrow's world, and I applaud the cooperation of these sister 
hospitals in making this joint effort such a success. It is my firm 
belief that this joint effort by these honorable institutions will 
contribute not only to my constituents but to many other people across 
both our countries. I would therefore once again like to welcome these 
distinguished visitors to our country and ask my colleagues to join me 
in offering these two hospitals the best of luck for their future 
cooperation.
