  Mr. DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to 
rise and pay tribute to Allan B. Weingold, who has served in the 
medical profession since 1955. Dr. Weingold will be retiring this month 
after 40 years of service to the medical profession.
  Allan Weingold was born in New York in 1930. After graduating from 
Oberlin College and attaining his medical degree from New York Medical 
College, he began his residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York 
which he completed in 1960. During this time, Allan was also the chief 
of service for the U.S. Army at Rodriguez Army Hospital in San Juan, 
PR.
  After serving as a American Cancer Society Fellow in Gynecologic 
Oncology, he joined the faculty of the New York Medical College and 
because the professor and associate chairman of the department of 
obstetrics and gynecology. In 1973, Dr. Weingold became the professor 
and chairman of the department of the George Washington University 
Medical Center, a position he held until 1993. He also served as 
chairman of the Governing Board of the Medical Faculty Associates, a 
300 member multispecialty practice group, and as interim vice president 
for medical affairs in 1992-93. On March 1, 1995, he assumed the role 
as vice president and executive dean at the George Washington

  Dr. Weingold has been honored for his knowledge and skill in his 
field. He has received numerous awards, including the Conrad Tharaldsen 
Scholastic Award. He is also a member of the Contin Honor Society and

  I have known Allan Weingold for 20 years and am proud of his many 
accomplishments. He has overseen the training of literally hundreds of 
doctors, many of whom are currently practicing in the Washington 
metropolitan area. His high standards of ethics, his professional 
demeanor, and the high-quality of medical practice he has imparted to 
his students, residents, and leave a lasting legacy for the Washington 
region's health care. I am proud to have had the opportunity to know 
this extraordinary man.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues will join me in applauding Dr.

providing the citizens of the District of Columbia with quality health
