                     REMEMBERING DR. MALCOLM DORMAN

 Mr. SCOTT of Florida. Madam President, I rise today to 
commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Malcolm Dorman.
  I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Dorman for nearly four decades. He 
was a dear friend, whose kindness and compassion was felt by all around 
him. He loved his family and friends deeply

and would do anything for them. He was a man of great faith, served his 
synagogue faithfully, and steadfastly supported many Jewish causes. In 
1995 he was awarded the Man of the Year Award by Prime Minister 
Benjamin Netanyahu, and in 2006, he was awarded the Distinguished 
Guardian of Israel Award by Shimon Peres, former Prime Minister of the 
State of Israel and Nobel Peace Prize Winner.
  Dr. Dorman was a spectacular surgeon who saved many lives and exuded 
compassion and love for his patients. For 25 years, he served as the 
chairman of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery and cochairman of 
the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Miami Heart Institute. 
He then moved to the JFK Medical Center in Atlantis, FL, where he was 
the medical director of cardiac surgery and established and directed 
the Valvular Heart Institute. Along with the countless patients he 
helped heal, Dr. Dorman invested in the growth of students as a member 
of the Florida Atlantic University Board of Trustees and FAU's Charles 
E. Schmidt College of Medicine Advisory Board. He selflessly gave his 
time and effort to serve others and help them grow into all that they 
could be.
  Ann and I are praying for all of Dr. Dorman's family, friends, and 
loved ones. He exemplified what it means to love and to serve and was a 
dependable friend I looked up to. We mourn this very heavy loss, but we 
are blessed to have known Dr. Dorman and to call him a friend.
