  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Jose R. Sanchez-
Pena for his many contributions to the Hispanic community. He will be 
honored by the Federation of Cuban Musicians in Exile on Sunday, March 
17, 2002, at Mi Bandera restaurant in Union City, NJ.
  Dr. Jose R. Sanchez-Pena is currently an assistant professor of 
medicine at the University of Puerto Rico and the University of 
Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey.
  He is a member of Barnert Memorial Hospital in Paterson, NJ. In 
Passaic, NJ, he is a member of Beth Israel Hospital, Saint Mary's 
Hospital, and General Hospital Center. He is the Medical Director at 
Gregory Medical Associates, Comprehensive Medical Evaluations, and 
Gregory Surgical Services.
  Dr. Jose R. Sanchez-Pena is an asset to the Hispanic community, 
providing excellent medical care to countless Hispanics at his medical 
offices in Manhattan, Queens, Jersey City, West New York, Paterson, 
Passaic, and Hoboken. Having medical licenses in New York, New Jersey, 
Indiana, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, he is able to extend 
his services to a diverse group of individuals.
  Not only does he attend to people's medical needs, but his services 
also benefit the community, as he is a medical consultant for the 
Social Security Administration, the Immigration and Naturalization 
Services, and Workmen's Compensation in the State of New York and New 
Jersey.
  Today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. Jose Sanchez-
Pena for his many contributions to the medical community and the 
Hispanic community of New Jersey.
