                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 12, 2000

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 75th 
Anniversary of the University of Rochester Medical Center.
  From quality, compassionate patient care to cutting-edge research to 
individualized student education, the University of Rochester Medical 
Center has earned a nationwide reputation for excellence. Since its 
founding by Dean George Hoyt Whipple, the School of Dentistry and 
Medicine has produced some of our country's most skilled doctors and 
researchers, whose commitment to the art of healing has made a real 
difference in the lives of countless people and families.
  To continue their tradition of excellence and prominence, the 
University of Rochester Medical Center will today mark the investiture 
of three deans, who will build on the center's successes heading into 
its second 75 years of service. They are Patricia Chiverton, Ed.D., 
R.N., EN.A.P., third dean of the School of Nursing; Deborah Cory-
Slechta, Ph.D., first dean of Research of the School of Medicine and 
Dentistry and Director of the Aab Institute of Biomedical Sciences; and 
Edward Hundert, M.D., as the eighth dean of the School of Medicine and 
Dentistry.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this House of Representatives join me in 
saluting the achievements of the University of Rochester Medical Center 
on the occasion of their 75 Anniversary, and that this Congress join 
with me in wishing continued success upon the celebration of the 
investiture of Deans Hundert, Cory-Slechta and Chiverton.
