     CONGRATULATIONS TO RANDY HERMAN SCHENKMAN AND MARIETTA GLAZER

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, since September 11, every day we honor 
the firefighters, police, and rescue workers who heroically gave their 
lives to save others. But today, I would also like to congratulate two 
South Florida women who have dedicated themselves to saving thousands 
of lives in the fight against breast cancer. Dr. Randy Herman 
Schenkman, former medical director of the Diagnostic Breast Cancer of 
Baptist Hospital and Outpatient Services, and Dr. Mariette Glazer, a 
therapist and pioneer of the first ostomy outpatient clinic at Memorial 
Regional Hospital. These women of visions have dedicated their careers 
to educating, imaging, and diagnosing women with breast cancer.
  On Thursday, October 18, they will join the American Committee for 
Weizmann Institute of Science to explore the diagnostic and emotional 
aspects of breast cancer. They will share their knowledge and 
commitment to taking patient care to new heights. During this difficult 
time, it is inspiring to learn about the positive achievements of so 
many Americans. So I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
these brave women for distinguishing themselves as champions in the war 
against breast cancer.
