Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of my\ncolleagues the name of J. Michael Bishop, M.D. Dr. Bishop received the\nAmerican Society for Cell Biology's 1998 Public Service Award on\nSunday, December 13, 1998. On behalf of the Congressional Biomedical\nResearch Caucus, I want to extend our deepest congratulations to Dr.\nBishop for his outstanding scientific and educational accomplishments.\nLast year, I was pleased to receive the same Public Policy Award. I am\nhonored that for once in my lifetime, a Nobel Laureate is actually\nfollowing in my footsteps.\n  Nearly 10 years ago, Dr. Bishop, along with other scientists,\nproposed a forum where scientists could brief the Congress and its\nstaff on the latest discoveries in biomedical research. Thus was born\nthe Congressional Biomedical Research Caucus, which has now conducted\nover seventy-five briefings, provided the Congress with a first-rate\nscience\n\n[[Page E2336]]\n\neducation, and has served to identify a bipartisan group of Members who\nactively support funding for medical research. The Biomedical Research\nCaucus has provided a forum for presentations that have made a\nremarkable and lasting impression on our views of what the proper role\nthat the Congress should play in appropriating funds for the National\nInstitutes of Health and Science Programs.\n  The fact that the Biomedical Research Caucus has been such a\nlongstanding success is a tribute to Dr. Bishop's selfless and\npersevering dedication to provide appropriate topics and outstanding\nscientists to conduct these remarkable and enlightening briefings. Dr.\nBishop's commitment to the caucus is deeply appreciated and we look\nforward to another year of caucus briefings that so effectively reveal\nthe opportunities for scientific discovery.\n  I am ever so proud that a man born in York, PA, educated at\nGettysburg College, and whose family resides near my home city of\nHarrisburg, PA, is receiving this richly deserved honor. Once again, I\nwant Dr. Bishop to know that his passionate efforts on behalf of\nbiomedical science have made a lasting impact on me personally as well\nas on the entire Congress.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1998-12-17-pt1-PgE2335-4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.959114171564579, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
