                      Thursday, November 13, 1997

  Ms. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, Dr. Lawrence H. Einhorn of the Indiana 
University School of Medicine at Indianapolis was recently awarded the 
1997 International Citizen of the Year Award by the International 
Center. Dr. Einhorn, a highly distinguished professor of medicine has 
demonstrated unparalled expertise in cancer education, research and 
treatment. The award distinguished Dr. Einhorn for his contribution in 
the world in concert with medicine, government, sports, community 
service, research, culture, education and business.
  His renowned success was made in the creation of chemotherapy 
treatment to cure disseminated testis cancer in 1974. This method led 
to a remarkable reduction in what had been a devastating disease. In 
partnership with Dr. John P. Donahue at the School of Medicine, 95 
percent of those afflicted with testis cancer that are treated at a 
major medical clinic survive.
  Dr. Einhorn's dedication to medicine can also be seen in his previous 
achievements. Besides being chairman of numerous cancer study groups, 
clinical associations and serving as associate editor for several 
medical journals, he has received awards and shared his knowledge 
throughout America and the world. Not only has he accepted the highest 
honors from the American Association for Cancer Research and the 
American Society of Clinical Oncology, he also won the French 
Jacquillat Award.
  We have all benefitted from Dr. Einhorn's research, commitment and 
accomplishments in the fight against cancer. I am pleased to 
congratulate him on his most recent honor, as it adds to the host of 
other awards he has won. I am confident that this recognition will 
serve as one of many along his career.
  We are most proud of Dr. Einhorn and his successful endeavors in 
behalf of patients now and in the future.
