                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 19, 1998

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Bronx-
Lebanon Hospital Center and the AIDS Research Community Advisory Board 
for their commitment to fighting AIDS and preventing the spreading of 
the deadly HIV. On Saturday, June 20, they will hold a prevention fair, 
Safety Jam, for adolescents and adults at the Claremont Neighborhood 
Center in the South Bronx.
  Safety Jam will feature informative educational presentations and 
workshops on issues related to health and HIV prevention. Fun, food, 
live multicultural entertainment, and free raffles will be provided 
throughout the day, helping to draw people to the fair.
  It is a privilege for me to represent the 16th district of New York, 
where the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center is located. I have witnessed 
first-hand the exemplary work they are doing for our community and I am 
deeply impressed.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope my colleagues will join me in honoring the 
physicians, nurses, caseworkers, administrators, clerical workers, and 
all of the other caregivers and support staff of the Bronx-Lebanon 
Hospital Center and the AIDS Research Community Advisory Board for 
their outstanding efforts at this important milestone, and in wishing 
them continued success.
