                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                     TRIBUTE TO GLENN M. ENGELMANN

 Mr. CARPER. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize a 
respected member of Delaware's business community and a valued leader 
in our community, Glenn M. Engelmann, as he embarks upon his retirement 
following a long and distinguished career.
  A native of Brooklyn, NY, Glenn earned a bachelor of arts degree in 
political science from the State University of New York at Binghamton 
and later went on to receive his juris doctor from the prestigious 
University of Chicago Law School.
  In 1986, Glenn joined the law department of ICI Americas Inc, later 
known as Zeneca Group PLC. In that role, he provided legal advice 
principally for ICI Americas' pharmaceuticals business. Glenn then 
served as counsel to the advanced materials business and, in 1991, was 
appointed as group counsel for ICI Pharmaceuticals. A few years later, 
in 1993, Glenn was appointed vice president, general counsel and 
secretary for Zeneca. He remained as the leader of Zeneca's, and later 
AstraZeneca U.S.'s, legal affairs and promotional regulatory review 
until today. This month, Glenn will leave his post as vice president 
and general counsel for AstraZeneca U.S. and commence his retirement.
  Outside of AstraZeneca U.S., Glenn is no stranger to his community. 
In addition to helping to lead one of the world's largest 
pharmaceutical companies, Glenn is the president of the board of 
directors for the Jewish Federation of Delaware and honorary board 
member of Children & Families First, an organization that provides 
services, training and support to thousands of people across the State 
of Delaware each year. He has also served on the board of Jewish Family 
Services of Delaware, where he was president from 2000 to 2002.
  When he is not working or serving our community, one could probably 
find Glenn at Citizens Bank Park watching the Philadelphia Phillies or 
at the Wells Fargo Center cheering for the Philadelphia 76ers. Or 
perhaps he might be reliving his ``glory days,'' listening to The Boss 
Bruce Springsteen--the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. And while I have 
heard nothing but jokes regarding Glenn's golf game, I assume he is 
trying to get better. Maybe he can improve during retirement.
  A devoted family man, Glenn and his wife Michelle have three 
children: Harris, Jason and Rachel, as well as a dog

named Cleo. He has no doubt had a profound influence on his children's 
academic and career paths. Harris is going to be a junior at Washington 
University in St. Louis this fall. Jason is embarking on his second 
year at Duke Law, and Rachel recently earned a master's in Public 
Health from the University of Michigan and now works for Abbott 
Pharmaceutical. Upon his retirement, Glenn will leave behind a legacy 
of commitment to his work and public service both for his children and 
for the generations that will follow them.
  I join Glenn's family and colleagues in congratulating him--a leader 
in his field and in our community--as he celebrates the completion of a 
successful career and begins a new chapter in his life. I wish him and 
his family only the very best in all that lies ahead for each of 
them.
