               TRIBUTE TO STEWART AND MARLENE GREENEBAUM

 Mr. CARDIN. Mr. President, today I wish to pay special tribute 
to the outstanding achievements of Stewart and Marlene Greenebaum. 
Stewart and Marlene are lifelong residents of Baltimore and good 
friends of mine who have shown a deep personal commitment to Baltimore, 
to Maryland, and to improving our community and Nation through their 
commitment of time and resources.
  The Greenebaums have helped to establish our community as a leader in 
health care. Through their efforts, they established one of our 
Nation's premier cancer centers. The Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum 
Cancer Center is known for translating its innovative research into 
better treatments. Stewart is a past chairman of the board of the 
University of Maryland Medical System, home to the Marlene and Stewart 
Greenebaum Cancer Center. The Greenebaums also founded the Children's 
House at Johns Hopkins Hospital, a facility dedicated to helping the 
families of children who are fighting life-threatening illness.
  The Greenebaums' commitment to improving health care outcomes is 
known nationwide. Stewart serves as the founding chair for the American 
Cancer Society's Cancer Resource Network, a program that provides 
resource navigators to major cancer centers. He is chairman emeritus 
and member of the Board of Advisors for the Baltimore-based Institute 
of Human Virology, which focuses on HIV/AIDS research, care, and 
treatment, and he serves on the board of Profectus Biosciences Inc. and 
Welldoc, a company whose products help in the management of diabetes. 
Stewart also is one of the five U.S. directors of the Hadassah Hospital 
in Jerusalem.
  Marlene Greenebaum is known in our community for her commitment to 
Judaism. She has served as president of Temple Oheb Shalom Sisterhood 
and is past president of Miriam Lodge, K.S.B. She was vice president of 
fundraising for Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem and is currently on the 
Greenebaum Cancer Center board.
  Marlene and Stewart are also committed to education. Stewart helped 
to found and fund a program that sends African-American students to 
Israel. He is the founding president of Shoshana S. Cardin Jewish High 
School. On October 21, the Shoshana S. Cardin School will honor Marlene 
and Stewart Greenebaum for all they have contributed. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in applauding the many accomplishments of Stewart 
and Marlene Greenebaum and for their undying commitment and dedication 
to helping others.
