                                 ______


                       HON. JOSEPH P. KENNEDY II

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 4, 1996

  Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, one of the pleasures of 
serving this great body, is the opportunity to recognize outstanding 
individuals from across the nation. It is with great pride that I rise 
today to congratulate Dr. Arthur Pappas who was recently honored by the 
Massachusetts Hospital School for his dedication to children and his 25 
years of service as Trustee and Chairman of the Board of the 
Massachusetts Hospital School.
  Dr. Pappas is well known in the Boston area as a humanitarian and his 
association with the Massachusetts Hospital School is just one of his 
numerous public service activities. The Massachusetts Hospital School 
is an institution that encourages equal opportunity. The goal of the 
school is to reinforce the idea that each child should be given the 
chance to grow in every possible way despite his or her physical 
challenge.
  In addition to his public service, Dr. Pappas is a leading 
orthopedist and has been a teacher and mentor to many medical students. 
He is also a pioneer in the field of sports medicine and has served as 
the team physician to the Boston Red Sox for many years. Through his 
private practice and work with the Red Sox, Dr. Pappas has advanced the 
medical knowledge of the proper treatment and rehabilitation of 
patients with debilitating injuries, and in so doing has helped 
thousands of patients.
  Mr. Speaker, I am sure that I speak on behalf of everyone who has 
ever worked with Dr. Pappas or benefitted from his good works, when I 
offer my warmest congratulations.
