                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 18, 2000

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, today I honor Denver's National Jewish 
Medical and Research Center. For the third straight year, U.S. News & 
World Report has rated National Jewish as the top hospital in the 
United States for treatment of respiratory disorders.
  Denver's National Jewish Medical and Research Center, one of the 
preeminent health care institutions in the world, has also proven 
itself to be a global leader in the research and treatment of lung, 
allergy and immune diseases. Recently, National Jewish completed its 
centennial celebration, ushering in a second century of providing 
health care, comfort, education and hope to both children and adults 
suffering from asthma, emphysema, tuberculosis, severe allergies and 
autoimmune diseases, such as lupus.
  The U.S. News & World Report ranking is part of the 2000 ``America's 
Best Hospitals'' guide published by the weekly newsmagazine. Based on 
surveys of 150 board-certified respiratory specialists, National Jewish 
received the best reputational score of any of the 50 hospitals listed 
for respiratory disease treatment.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Denver's National Jewish Medical and 
Research Center for their outstanding rating and their dedicated and 
sustained service to those in need.
