 Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, on the occasion of the 75th 
birthday of Allen Memorial Hospital and the nursing education program 
of Allen Health System. I would like to congratulate this fine 
organization. For 75 years Allen Health System has diligently carried 
out its mission of commitment to healing, teaching, caring, and 
improving the health of the people and communities it serves.
  Established in 1925, this organization has, over the years, 
positively impacted the lives of friends and family in Waterloo/Cedar 
Falls and surrounding communities of Northeast Iowa. Allen Health 
System has contributed to the development of healthcare within the 
community with its high quality of healthcare, professionalism, service 
and outreach.
  The contribution of Allen Memorial Hospital and the nursing education 
program of Allen Health System over the past 75 years is immeasurable 
and Allen is to be commended for its unwavering commitment to providing 
healthcare to those it serves.
  This September 2000, Allen Health System associates and students come 
together to commemorate the organization's 75th birthday and to further 
enhance their knowledge and skills related to healthcare, I salute 
them. The community has been strengthened and enhanced by the work of 
this organization and the men and women who are part of it.
