                     TRIBUTE TO JOHN L. McGOLDRICK

 Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, it is with great pride that I 
rise today to pay special tribute to an outstanding gentlemen from New 
Jersey. On January 20, The American Jewish Committee Institute of Human 
Relations Award Dinner will honor John L. McGoldrick. Since 1979, John 
McGoldrick has served as a director of the New Jersey Transit 
Corporation, which is the United States' third largest passenger rail 
and bus company. As anyone from New Jersey knows, passenger rail and 
bus service is extremely important to the commerce and quality of life 
in our State.
  Currently John McGoldrick is executive vice president of Bristol-
Myers Squibb Company. He is vice chairman of the company's executive 
committee and is responsible for Global Corporate Policy. He is also 
general counsel of the company and director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb 
Foundation.
  More important than any of those responsibilities is Mr. McGoldrick's 
responsibility for Bristol-Myers Squibb's HIV/AIDS initiatives in 
Africa. That includes the company's groundbreaking $115 million Secure 
The Future program in Southern and Francophone Africa, as well as the 
ACCESS program to make antiretroviral therapy more accessible in the 
developing world.
  At Bristol-Myers Squibb John McGoldrick has also led the company's 
efforts in support of the State of New Jersey Commission on Holocaust 
Education.
  John McGoldrick is also very active outside of his work at Bristol-
Myers.
  Mr. McGoldrick is a director of the Regional Plan Association, a 
trustee of Legal Services of New Jersey and a Trustee of the HealthCare 
Institute of New Jersey.
  Mr. McGoldrick also has been elected a Member of the American Law 
Institute, a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a fellow 
of the American Bar Association and a fellow of the American Academy of 
Appellate Lawyers.
  He is also a director of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., which is a company 
that manufactures artificial hips and knees as well as other orthopedic 
products.
  I ask my colleagues to join me and the American Jewish Committee 
Institute of Human Relations in honoring Mr. John L. McGoldrick for his 
great service to New Jerseyans and people all over the world.
