                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 8, 2009

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor William S. Dalton, Ph.D., M.D. for his commitment to the fight 
against cancer and his participation at the Tony Snow Cancer Symposium 
in The Villages, Florida, on January 21. Hosted by the Caring and 
Sharing Villagers and the Alliance Healthcare Foundation, the Tony Snow 
Cancer Symposium is intended to raise funds for the creation of a $25 
million Cancer Center next to Leesburg Regional Hospital and promote 
awareness in our community.
  Dr. Dalton currently serves as the President/Chief Executive Officer 
and Center Director at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research 
Institute in Tampa, Florida. The Moffitt Cancer Center is regarded as 
one of the top cancer facilities in the United States. With two decades 
of cancer research and contributions to over 200 publications, 
including the Journal of the American Medical Association and the 
Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Dalton has established 
himself as an expert in the fight against cancer.
  Recognized as a ``Best Doctor in America'' since 1993, Dr. Dalton's 
primary areas of research include biochemical mechanisms of drug 
resistance, new drug discovery and the biology and treatment of 
multiple myeloma. He was also instrumental in obtaining the Molecular 
Oncology, Mopp, grant of $5 million for the Moffitt Cancer Center in 
2000.
  Madam Speaker, individuals such as William S. Dalton should be 
recognized for their sincere dedication to improving the health and 
quality of life for people all over the world. With the passing of my 
husband Harvey to pancreatic cancer, I can personally attest to the 
affects of cancer on both a person and their family. I sincerely 
appreciate the work that Dr. Dalton has done and wish him further 
success in his medical endeavors.
