                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 18, 2005

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to help celebrate 
the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the first adult liver 
transplant program serving Tarrant County and Baylor University Medical 
Center at Dallas. In 1985, Baylor University Medical Center recruited 
Dr. Goran B. Klintmalm, a highly skilled surgeon to begin the new adult 
liver transplant program and to enhance each facility's medical and 
surgical capabilities.
  Baylor University Medical Center has transplanted more than 4,500 
organs in patients around the world. The program has been replicated at 
Baylor All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth, allowing Baylor Health 
Care Systems to expand their services to Tarrant County.
  I would like to honor Baylor University Medical Center, along with 
the doctors, nurses and hospital administration that make extraordinary 
organ transplants possible. Their dedication to the medical profession 
and their commitment to saving lives is to be commended.
