               ONCOLOGY NURSING SOCIETY 40TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I want to take a 
moment today to highlight the contributions of the Oncology Nursing 
Society to cancer care in our Nation. Oncology nurses care for cancer 
patients during some of the most critical and challenging times of 
their lives.
  As cancer treatments have become more complex, oncology nurses have 
been called upon to acquire new knowledge and skills while continuing 
to provide compassionate care and emotional support to their patients.
  This is where the Oncology Nursing Society comes in. Since 1975, the 
Oncology Nursing Society has worked tirelessly to lead the 
transformation of cancer care and ensure that our Nation's oncology 
nurses are well equipped to tackle the healthcare challenges of the 
future. Next week, the Oncology Nursing Society will hold its 40th 
Annual Congress.
  I want to commend the Oncology Nursing Society for its commitment to 
the highest quality care possible for cancer patients, and I want to 
offer my congratulations on its 40th anniversary.
