                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM J. MARTINI

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 21, 1996

  Mr. MARTINI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding individual of the Eighth Congressional District of New 
Jersey, Dr. Armand Leone.
  Dr. Leone has given a great deal of time and care to the people of 
Paterson through his undying service at Wayne General Hospital. A 
native of Paterson, Dr. Leone began his medical career in his hometown 
after graduating from New York Medical College in 1947. His first 
position was as a rotating intern at Wayne General, followed by a 
residency in pathology. With these experiences, Dr. Leone realized his 
inner calling to practice at Wayne General Hospital.
  Next, Dr. Leone served as the first radiology resident at St. 
Barnabas Hospital. His enthusiasm and dedication led him to serve a 
residency in radiation therapy and two preceptorships in nuclear 
medicine. Dr. Leone fulfilled his practicing desire in 1951 when he was 
appointed to the medical staff of Wayne General Hospital--then Paterson 
General. Later, he was appointed clinical professor at New York Medical 
College in Westchester. Currently, Dr. Leone serves as chairman of the 
department of radiology at Wayne General and chairman of the Wayne 
General Hospital Foundation.
  Mr. Speaker, it is overwhelmingly apparent that Dr. Leone's 
dedication to the practice of medicine warrants utmost admiration. His 
devotion to Wayne General Hospital and the individuals it serves goes 
above and beyond the call of normal doctors. I applaud the achievements 
of Dr. Armand Leone and wish him many more years of excellence in 
practicing medicine.
