  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Dr. 
Eugene Eisenman, who passed away on January 29, 2007.
  Eugene Eisenman was born on August 15, 1945 in St. Augustine, FL, and 
studied medicine at the Universadad Autonoma in Guadalajara, Mexico. 
Eugene completed his medical residency at Tulane University in New 
Orleans where he specialized in obstetrics. In 1981, Dr. Eisenman moved 
to Nevada to practice medicine. Throughout his 25-year medical career 
in Nevada, he served as chairman of Sunrise Hospital's Obstetrics 
Department and was president of the Clark County OB-GYN Society. During 
his many years of devoted service to the community, Dr. Eisenman 
delivered thousands of babies and cared for his patients with enduring 
compassion.
  In addition to Eugene's many years of service to the medical 
community, he also served his country as an airman in the United States 
Air Force during the Vietnam war, was a member of the Chabad Synagogue 
in Las Vegas, and dedicated himself to his family and community.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the life and the legacy of Eugene 
Eisenman. His lasting dedication to the community should serve as an 
example to us all. I applaud his efforts and his life's work.
