                     TRIBUTE TO ROLLAND LOWE, M.D.

 Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Rolland Lowe, M.D., who was installed on March 24 as the 132d president 
of the California Medical Association, the largest State medical 
association. He is the first Asian-American president in its history 
and has earned my admiration on both a personal and professional level.
  Dr. Lowe has built an extraordinary list of achievements throughout 
his career. He has served as the chief of surgery and chief of staff at 
the Chinese Hospital in San Francisco, working to ensure high-quality 
health care for low-income immigrants. He currently holds a position as 
a member on the board of trustees for the hospital and is the former 
chair.
  Dr. Lowe has served as president of the San Francisco Medical Society 
in addition to serving on the California Medical Association's board of 
trustees since 1987.
  In addition to distinguishing himself in his career, Dr. Lowe has 
been a role model for the community through his philanthropic work and 
community activism. He serves on dozens of the boards of organizations. 
He also has founded and currently is the chair of the Lawrence Choy 
Lowe Memorial Fund in Chinatown.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Dr. Lowe for his 
commitment to the people of San Francisco and congratulating him on 
this achievement.
