                       Tuesday, October 10, 2000

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in tribute to Dr. Jay Glat upon the 
occasion of his retirement. A superb dentist and an outstanding member 
of our community, Dr. Glat served his patients with kindness and 
respect for almost 40 years, meeting the highest standards of 
professional conduct and personal responsibility. Dr. Glat served his 
profession outside of the office as well, donating his time and 
expertise to numerous committees and boards on a local, state, and 
national level. He served as President of both the New York and Bronx 
County Dental Societies, as Delegate to the American Dental 
Association, and as General Chairman of the Greater New York Dental 
Meeting. During his many years of practice, Dr. Glat also received 
numerous honorary fellowships and distinguished service awards in 
recognition of his many achievements.
  Just as he faithfully provided care to his local community, Dr. Glat 
also served his country as a Lieutenant in the United States Dental 
Corp, exhibiting a tremendous degree of pride, commitment, and 
integrity in his work. The principles of service and sacrifice that 
have guided Dr. Glat's career have made him a tremendous credit not 
only to his family and our local community, but to the dental 
profession. While I am sorry to see Dr. Glat retire, I know that many 
have benefited from his care and dedication. I thank him and wish him 
the best in his well-deserved retirement years.
