                       HONORING GERALD SQUILLANTE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 24, 2000

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, we all rely on hospitals for our well-being 
or more accurately, the people in our hospitals to help us through our 
individual crises. One of the people I want to praise today for his 
work is Gerald Squillante, Director of the School of Radiation Therapy 
at Montefiore Medical Center.
  He has brought diligence and compassion to his work and he is being 
honored for his 18 years of service at Montefiore Hospital to the 
people of the community. He graduated from the first class of the 
School of Radiation at Montefiore Medical Center's Radiation Oncology 
Department.
  For the 18 years he has served as Director he has dedicated his time 
and ability to assist the administrative, technical and medical staff 
whenever they have called on him. He has been a dedicated teacher who 
helped his students reach their goal of graduating from the School of 
Radiation Therapy Technology and to pass the National Registry 
Examination in order to obtain their licenses to treat.
  He has shown care and devotion to his family, his colleagues and his 
students, who are known with affection as ``Jerry's Kids''.
  I want to join with his family, friends, colleagues and students in 
wishing him the very best on his anniversary. The work he does 
certainly is a benefit to all of us.
