recognition of his commitment and service to the health of the Central 
Brooklyn community.
  Ulysses S. Kilgore III possesses a Masters of Business Administration 
from Long Island University, and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from 
Lincoln University (MO). He is a former U.S. Army officer whose 
assignments took him to the Republic of South Korea, West Germany and 
Fort Meade, MD. His professional experience includes appointments as 
fiscal officer at the former Sydneham Hospital and financial management 
positions at Pfizer and Brooklyn Union Gas Company, respectively.
  In 1982, Mr. Kilgore was selected as President and Chief Executive 
Officer of the Bedford Stuyvesant Family Health Center, Inc. Over the 
years--with strong and compassionate management and clinical teams--the

FHC has become a major provider of healthcare in the Central Brooklyn, 
Bedford Stuyvesant community. According to Mr. Kilgore, it is the 
Center's ultimate responsibility for their own mental, spiritual and 
physical well-being. The Center seeks to be a participant in that 
quest. He believes that the greatest source of enrichment comes from 
service to others. He gives thanks to the Creator for the opportunity 
to be used to help make life better.
  Mr. Speaker, for all of his hard work and dedication to improving 
access to health care in central Brooklyn, I urge my colleagues to join 
me in honoring Ulysses S. Kilgore III a truly remarkable man.
