                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 5, 2005

  Mr.  ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the accomplishments 
of Terry Lazar. Through his daily actions, Terry truly upholds the 
tradition of service to both the family and community.
  In each of his business endeavors, Terry remains faithful to his 
commitment of service--service with a unique combination of care and 
compassion. Terry's work in Lazar Sanders, LLP, Wealth Advisors Ltd. 
and Knowledge Partners has strengthened healthcare in our communities 
and has contributed to the world of financial services.
  Terry has parlayed his expertise in health care to serve as an 
outspoken advocate for women's rights and women's health care. He has 
been an active supporter of the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Brooklyn, 
LLC, a state of the art facility serving women's health needs, and has 
developed a program for people living with HIV/AIDS which has been 
recognized by the State of New York and the Joint Commission on 
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
  Terry's service also greatly impacts the Jewish community. He serves 
as Vice President of the Long Island chapter of the American Jewish 
Committee, a Capital Club member of the American Israeli Policy Affairs 
Committee and President of the Long Island Executive Board of the 
Jewish National Fund. Terry has applied his knowledge and passion for 
Israel toward issues affecting the international community. He is a 
board member of the American Friends of Rambarn Medical Center in 
Haifa, Israel, the cochair of the American Friends of Tzohar, Galil, 
Israel (a premier school serving children with disabilities), and is a 
member of the Board of Directors for the Institute for the Analysis of 
Global Security--a Washington think tank seeking to reduce America's 
reliance on Middle Eastern oil.
  Finally, Terry is a loving husband to Phyllis, proud father of Damon, 
Danielle and Ginger and doting grandfather to Cory and Jordan.
  Terry's commitment to service has strengthened our community and 
enriched the lives of many. He is a great friend to Long Island and I 
thank Terry Lazar for all of his hard work.
