  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor John L. McGoldrick 
for his outstanding contributions to our world community. He will be 
recognized at the American Jewish Committee Institute of Human 
Relations Award Dinner on Thursday, January 30, 2003, at the Hyatt 
Regency in Princeton, New Jersey.
  Mr. McGoldrick is Executive Vice President of Bristol-Myers Squibb 
Company, Vice Chairman of the Company's Executive Committee, and 
responsible for global corporate policy. He is general counsel and 
director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, and previously, served 
as a senior partner of the law firm of McCarter & English, LLP, where 
he sat on the Executive Committee.
  A man with a global vision, Mr. McGoldrick played an integral part in 
Bristol-Myers Squibb's HIV/AIDS initiatives in Africa, including the 
``Secure the Future'' program in Southern and Francophone Africa, and 
the ACCESS program making antiretroviral therapy more accessible in 
developing countries.
  A man with both a national and local vision, Mr. McGoldrick has 
served as a director of the United States third largest passenger rail 
and bus company, the New Jersey Transit Corporation, since its founding 
in 1979. In addition, he has served as Vice Chairman, and is currently 
the senior ranking member of the board. He is director of Zimmer 
Holdings, Inc., the NYSE-listed manufacturer of artificial hips and 
knees, and a member of the Board of Directors of AdvaMed, the medical 
devices trade association. He has served on government reform 
commissions in New Jersey, leading Bristol-Meyers Squibb's efforts to 
support the State of New Jersey Commission on Holocaust education.
  He is a member of the following organizations: the Aspen Institute on 
the World Economy; the Council on Foreign Relations; the World Economic 
Forum (Davos); the Association of General Counsel, the Council of Chief 
Legal Officers; the Executive Committee of the CPR Institute for 
Dispute Resolution; and the American Law Institute. He is a fellow of 
the American College of Trial lawyers, the American Bar Association, 
and of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers.
  Mr. McGoldrick graduated from Harvard College and earned his law 
degree from Harvard Law School.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring John L. McGoldrick 
for exemplifying the American Jewish Committee's vision; he has made a 
global impact, and his exceptional leadership and many accomplishments 
in the fields of healthcare, education, and justice have truly made 
this world a better place.
