                      Wednesday, February 26, 2003

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. I rise to acknowledge the contributions of 
Philadelphia's own Sarah and Rubin Herman Chapter of the City of Hope 
Hospital and Beckman Institute of Research. As this institution 
celebrates its 40th year, its unwavering commitment to both the 
community and the medical field remain unparalleled.
  The Philadelphia chapter is composed of 70 local women, ages 60-85, 
who have dedicated countless hours of their time to support fund-
raising efforts and events. Last year alone, they raised $35,000 to 
assist doctors and research scientists in their on-going battle to find 
a cure for various life-threatening diseases.
  The Sarah and Rubin Herman Chapter of the City of Hope Hospital and 
Beckman Institute maintain an exemplary level of enthusiasm about and 
dedication to volunteerism. They stand steadfast in their mission to 
provide hope for a brighter future for the survivors of life 
threatening diseases and their families. I hope that all of my 
distinguished colleagues will join me in recognizing the contribution 
that has been made to Philadelphia, to Pennsylvania and to our great 
nation.
