           IN HONOR OF THE NEW YORK STATE NURSES ASSOCIATION

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 29, 1997

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to the New York State 
Nurses Association [NYSNA] today as they begin celebrating Nurses' 
Week, May 5 through May 9, by way of a Congressional Record statement.
  Nurses across America will be taking this time to educate the general 
public about the important roles nurses play in today's health care 
debate. In the battle to protect the high level of care and delivery of 
service we have enjoyed in this country, nurses are at the forefront. I 
commend them for having effectively become the patients' most outspoken 
and effective advocates as this debate rages on.
  Let us rise today and honor these working men and women whom we have 
come to rely upon for the three C's: care, compassion, and courage, in 
our time of most need. A long awaited, deeply felt, and much deserved 
thank you.
