                       Tuesday, October 30, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Juvenile 
Diabetes Foundation for continuing their efforts to fund diabetes 
research and education.

  The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) was founded in 1970 by parents 
of children with diabetes. The foundation was created with the mission 
of finding a cure for the disease and its complications through the 
support of research.
  The JDF is a professional organization that is one of the nation's 
most cost-efficient charities, providing at least 80 cents of every 
dollar to research and education about research. By 200l, JDF's 
commitment to its mission will increase to $100 million per year.
  Since their inception, JDF has provided over $326 million for 
diabetes research, more than any other non-profit non-governmental 
health agency in the world. Events like the Walk to Cure Diabetes are 
important community activities that continue the fight against this 
debilitating disease.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation for 
their fight against diabetes. I urge my colleagues to join me in 
wishing the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation many more years of continued 
success.
