                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 8, 1997

  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join with my constituents 
of the Fifth Congressional District in extending most welcome 
congratulations to the members of the National Institute for 
Electromedical Information [NIEI] in celebrating its 13th anniversary. 
Founded in 1984, by Stanley H. Kornhauser, Ph.D., the NIEI has 
diligently serviced the borough of Queens as an advocate and educator 
of electromedicine and has been most effective as a medium for the 
exchange of information on advances in new electrodiagnostic and 
electrotherapeutic devices in all areas of medicine.
  Since its founding, the NIEI has been an active source of 
informational distribution to the field of medicine and has emerged as 
a major facilitator in establishing training and seminar programs in 
electromedical education. Its impact has been guided and nurtured by 
the organization's advisory board. The board's strong interdisciplinary 
members have distinguished themselves in diverse fields of medical and 
scientific research significantly impacting on the field of health 
care.
  Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to rise in recognizing 
the National Institute of Electromedical Information, its founder and 
president, Stanley H. Knornhauser, Ph.D., its advisory board and 
membership as leaders in enhancing the level of understanding and 
knowledge regarding electromedical education, electromedical technology 
development, and the effective use of electromedical technology 
throughout our Nation.
