  HONORING DR. RICHARD JANEWAY AND THE BOWMAN GRAY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RICHARD BURR

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 1996

  Mr. BURR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of a true example of 
technological innovation and disease prevention. I've just returned 
from the introduction of an interactive World Wide Web site that 
calculates nutritional value of an individual's diet. This 
technological innovation created by the Bowman Gray School of Medicine 
makes it possible for anyone with access to a computer to live a 
longer, healthier life. Diet is often the first step in effective 
health care and Dr. Richard Janeway from Winston-Salem, North Carolina 
has been a leader in the effort to learn more about the relationship 
between what we eat and how we feel.
  Dr. Janeway was the Dean of Wake Forest University's Bowman Gray 
School of Medicine for 25 years before deciding to hand over the reigns 
to his successor. However, being a man of hard work and strong moral 
character, Dr. Janeway plans to continue his service by taking on the 
duties of the first distinguished professor of health care management.
  Under his leadership, Bowman Gray Medical School has emerged as one 
of the most respected and prominent medical schools in the Nation, 
leading the country in research, academics, and treatment. Bowman Gray 
has also become the Nation's top resource for information regarding the 
link between nutrition and disease. Due to his diligence and 
persistence, Bowman Gray has also recently become one of the top 
employers in Forsyth County by providing 10,400 jobs for hard-working 
Americans.
  But I know Dr. Janeway best as a good neighbor and a strong leader in 
North Carolina. He was one of the founders of Leadership Winston-Salem 
and served on two subcommittees for the Winston-Salem Foundation. He 
was elected to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County board of education and 
served there as chairman of the policy committee and he has also been 
recognized by the United Way for his community services as the 
recipient of the Alexis de Tocqueville Volunteer Leadership Award.
  Dr. Janeway has been a good friend to North Carolina and I would like 
to thank him for his innovation and commendable leadership.
