                         Wednesday, May 8, 1996

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my friend, 
Dr. Richard Boxer who will be honored by Lubavitch House of Wisconsin 
on Tuesday, June 18, 1996.
  In honoring Dr. Richard Boxer, Rick, as he is known to his friends, 
Lubavtich of Wisconsin is paying tribute to a man who has done so much 
for the community he loves. He is a man who truly is dedicated to the 
well-being of others not only in our community, but throughout this 
country.
  Rick is an outstanding doctor, and in 1995 was appointed by President 
Clinton to the National Cancer Advisory Board, and the National 
Institutes of Health. He also serves as a senior adviser for health 
care for the 1996 Clinton-Gore national campaign and was named best 
urologist in Milwaukee in 1987, 1991, and once again in 1996.
  Throughout his career, Rick has published many articles, lectured 
around the world, won several awards, and still found time to raise a 
family with his wife Barbara. His dedication to serving others 
transcends medicine.
  Lubavitch programs have helped many people throughout the years by 
providing to those in need. Its educational commitment, children and 
youth programs, counseling, and shelter services have been of great 
importance to our community. Rick has supported Lubavtich and its 
programs as they aim not only to help those in need, but also to boost 
awareness and pride in Milwaukee's Jewish community.
  Lubavitch of Wisconsin has made a wise choice in honoring Dr. Rick 
Boxer at their annual Lubavitch celebration. Rick, his wife Barbara, 
and their children should all feel a sense of pride in receiving this 
recognition.
  Congratulations, Rick, this is an honor that is well deserved.
