                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 18, 2001

  Mr. OSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of a constituent of 
mine, Mrs. Barbara Moore of West Sacramento, California, to recognize 
Jacobus Pharmaceutical Company, a small family-owned company based in 
Princeton, New Jersey. A few years ago, Laura Jacobus, Director of 
Quality Assurance for Jacobus Pharmaceutical Company, reached out her 
hand to Barbara, who suffers from a rare condition called Lambert Eaton 
Myasthenic Syndrome.
  Dr. David Richman, Barbara's doctor at the University of California 
at Davis Medical Center, placed Barbara in a treatment program for her 
condition, thus leading her to Jacobus Pharmaceutical. Prior to the 
assistance from Jacobus Pharmaceutical, Barbara couldn't even move 
short distances without help. As a result of her treatments, Barbara 
has been able to watch her son grow up, and remain an integral part of 
his life.
  In a time where money is viewed as the main motivating factor, I am 
deeply touched by the selfless actions of Jacobus Pharmaceutical. It is 
my wish to honor Jacobus Pharmaceutical and Laura for their benevolence 
and unsurpassed humanity within the pharmaceutical industry.
