  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor William R. Brody, M.D., 
Ph.D., who has earned the J.E. Wallace Sterling Lifetime Achievement 
Award and will be presented with it by the Stanford Medical Alumni 
Association and its Board of Governors on May 2, 2003.
  Dr. Brody is a native of Stockton, California, who earned his B.S. 
and M.S. degrees from MIT and his M.D. and Ph.D. from Stanford 
University. Following post-graduate training in cardiovascular surgery 
and radiology at Stanford, the National Institutes of Health and the 
University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Brody was professor of 
radiology and electrical engineering at Stanford. He's been a cofounder 
of three medical device companies, is responsible for over 100 
publications and one U.S. patent in the field of medical imaging. He 
has made contributions in the fields of medical acoustics, computed 
tomography, digital radiography and magnetic resonance imaging.
  Dr. Brody, who became the 13th president of the Johns Hopkins 
University on September 1, 1996, has extensive ties to the 14th 
Congressional District which I'm proud to represent. He and his family 
lived in Palo Alto for many years and his children attended several 
years of school in our community. In addition to his extraordinary 
accomplishments in the fields of engineering, medicine and education, 
Dr. Brody is a talented musician, a great athlete, a loving husband, a 
proud father, and an exceptional friend to many.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. William 
R. Brody for his lifetime of service to others and for his 
extraordinary contributions to medicine. He has made our country 
stronger and better, and for this we salute and honor him.
