                      HONORING DR. DANIEL J. FINN

 MR. BUNNING. Mr. President, I speak in recognition of Dr. 
Daniel J. Finn of Bardstown, Kentucky. Dr. Finn is a recipient of the 
American Medical Association's, AMA, Foundation Leadership Award at the 
2003 AMA National Advocacy Conference held in Washington, D.C. earlier 
this month.
  Each year the AMA takes an opportunity to honor young physicians who, 
in addition, to offering patients quality medical attention, show a 
strong dedication to community affairs and leadership in the medical 
community. Only 25 young physicians in the nation receive this 
distinguished honor and I am proud that a fellow Kentuckian has been 
recognized for his innovative and hard work.
  Dr. Finn practices pediatrics at Flaget Hospital in Bardstown, 
Kentucky. He focuses his attention on helping children combat obesity, 
an increasing problem facing the youth of America, by tailoring weight 
management programs for at-risk children. Dr. Finn also assists 
emotionally and behaviorally troubled youth by serving on the Advisory 
Council for Buckhorn of Lincoln Trail. He demonstrates his commitment 
to the medical community by being actively involved in the AMA, 
American Academy of Pediatrics and the Kentucky Medical Association.
  His commitment to improving the health care system one patient at a 
time is certainly serving Kentucky well. I look forward to following 
and hearing more of his promising career. I thank the Senate in 
allowing me to honor Dr. Daniel J. Finn.
