  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
Movses B. Janbazian for his prominent leadership in the nation's 
Armenian community. Reverend Janbazian died in his office on October 
25, 2000, of a massive heart attack.
  Janbazian was the executive director of the Armenian Missionary 
Association of America, a 30,000 member group that provides relief and 
missionary service around the world. Janbazian, a native of Anjar, 
Lebanon, had headed the group since 1987.
  Mr. Janbazian was also an ordained pastor and served on the board of 
trustees at Haigazian University in Lebanon. His work was always done 
with the best interests of the Armenian community in mind.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Movses B. Janbazian for his life-long 
dedication to the nation's Armenian community. I urge my colleagues to 
join me in honoring the memory of Movses B. Janbazian.
