                        A TRIBUTE TO JOHN BROWNE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 13, 2006

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, today, I am proud to honor John Browne, a 
courageous cancer survivor and citizen from the great state of New 
Jersey. After winning his battle with cancer, Mr. Browne tirelessly 
worked to bring hope to others afflicted with this terrible disease. He 
is truly an inspiration to others and it is my privilege to honor him 
today.
  Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, John Browne needed a liver 
transplant to save his life. Now healthy, John is working to make 
others aware of the importance of organ donation. He works as a 
volunteer for the Gift of Life Donor Program, an organization that 
matches donors with patients, Today about 90,000 people in the United 
States are awaiting an organ transplant. Making the decision to be an 
organ donor can save lives.
  I want to thank John for all that he has done. He was given a second 
chance at life and selflessly used it to help others in need. John's 
story proves that one person can make a difference in the world. His 
volunteer efforts have given hope to cancer patients, and he has made 
our community, and our Nation, a better place.
