                  TRIBUTE TO DR. AND MRS. FRANK LIGHT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 1, 2003

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
recognize Dr. and Mrs. Frank Light for their many contributions to 
health care in my district and around the world.
  As a member of Rahway Hospital's Medical/Dental staff since 1973 and 
long-time trustee of the Rahway Hospital Foundation, Dr. Light is a 
very active member within his hospital community. Dr. Light is also an 
active member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists as well as 
former board member and president of the John E. Runnels County 
Hospital and the Family and Children's Society, Counseling, Testing and 
Adoption Center.
  In addition to their contributions within the hospital community, Dr. 
and Mrs. Light have dedicated their time to helping provide free health 
care to needy children around the world through Healing the Children 
Midlantic, Inc. As a member of the International Relations Committee, I 
am very aware of the need for quality medical care for children around 
the world, and am extremely appreciative of Dr. Light's efforts over 
the past twenty-five years as part of a medical team that has traveled 
to many countries to provide such medical services.
  Dr. and Mrs. Light have also provided a home to many children while 
they undergo medical treatment and surgery in this country. They are 
able to give love to these children while they are far away from their 
loved ones as well as support while they undergo medical procedures. 
Dr. and Mrs. Light have dedicated their lives to bettering the lives of 
children around the world.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues here in the U.S. House of 
Representative join me today as I recognize Dr. and Mrs. Light and 
their innumerable contributions to the medical community and to the 
health and future of children around the world. It is selfless acts 
such as these that set an example for the rest of the world.
