  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Edouard 
Guillaume, MD, for his record of extraordinary service to New York's 
Tenth Congressional District.
  Dr. Edouard Guillaume was born in Gonaives, Haiti, studied medicine 
at the University Hospital of Haiti, and completed his formal training 
in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago, Illinois and 
Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. He currently focuses on 
hematology and oncology. Dr. Guillaume today heads Interfaith's 
acclaimed Comprehensive Sickle Cell Program, where he is well known as 
a ``pain specialist''. He was honored by the Sickle Cell Thalassemia 
Patients Network (SCTPN) in 2005 for his dedicated and distinguished 
service to patients affected with the disease.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing Dr. 
Edouard Guillaume.
