IN RECOGNITION OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN CANCER 
                                SOCIETY

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, I stand today to congratulate 
the Middlesex County Division of the American Cancer Society for being 
honored with the Community Service Award by the Woodbridge Metro 
Chamber of Commerce. The Middlesex Unit offers a wide array of programs 
and resources to help people learn about new treatments for cancer, 
arrange for home care, locate medical supplies and uplift patients with 
cancer and their families.
  The Middlesex Unit is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major 
health problem by taking pro-active measures to save lives and diminish 
the suffering of cancer patients through research, education, advocacy, 
and service. The Middlesex County Division's commitment to reducing the 
effects of cancer through medical means as well as its commitment to 
helping patients through financial assistance illustrates the 
Division's unique and humane approach to aiding patients with cancer. 
Their services have been of great benefit to countless individuals in 
Middlesex County.
  It is an honor to recognize the work of the Middlesex County Division 
of the American Cancer Society and congratulate them on receiving the 
Woodbridge Metro Chamber of Commerce's 2000 Community Service 
Award.
