                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSH D. HOLT

                        Friday, January 31, 2003

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of John L. 
McGoldrick, the Executive Vice President of Bristol-Myers Squibb 
Company and Director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, for his 
years of service to his community, the people of New Jersey, and 
millions of people around the world who are leading healthier lives due 
to his company's medicines. Millions of HIV infected Africans, 
especially, have benefited from his service.
  Mr. McGoldrick is a successful corporate lawyer who is as committed 
to good corporate citizenship as he is to the needs of the boardroom. 
His many accomplishments both at home in the United States and abroad 
reflect his firm commitment to alleviate the suffering of the less 
fortunate and to promote effective governance.
  Since arriving at Bristol-Myers Squibb, for example, he has been 
responsible for leading the company's HIV/AIDS initiatives in Africa, 
including its groundbreaking $115 million Secure the Future program in 
Southern and Francophone Africa, as well as the ACCESS program to make 
antiretroviral therapy accessible in the developing world. An active 
global citizen, he is also a Member of the Aspen Institute on the World 
Economy, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the World Economic 
Forum.
  In his home state of New Jersey, Mr. McGoldrick has served the public 
as a Director of the New Jersey Transit Corporation, the United States' 
third largest passenger rail and bus company. He has also served on 
governmental reform commissions in New Jersey and has been called to 
represent personally governors of New Jersey from both political 
parties.
  Mr. McGoldrick has also made many contributions to the Jewish 
community in Jew Jersey. He led Bristol-Myers Squibb's efforts in 
support of the State of New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education. 
For his many contributions to the Jewish community, he was also 
recently honored at a dinner hosted by the American Jewish Committee's 
Institute of Human Relations.
  I rise today in recognition of John L. McGoldrick, a citizen of the 
highest order and an honor to both his country and to the State of New 
Jersey.
