On the recordJuly 21, 2004

I rise before you this evening in recognition of the extraordinary work and tireless efforts of Dr. Tracey Lewis, Dr. Judith Simon and the Chiapas Mission for Sight. Dr. Tracey Lewis, in particular, is a constituent in my district, a dear friend as well as an exemplary individual, and she has chosen to lend her expertise and talent towards a very noble cause. I urge my fellow colleagues to take a moment to acknowledge the invaluable service that the Chiapas Mission for Sight has offered to countless individuals in one particular developing region of the world. The Chiapas Mission for Sight aims to provide primary eye care and surgery to the native Indian living in Ocotepec, Chiapas, Mexico. Thus far, they have completed three successful missions, and as a direct result, hundreds of individuals in dire need of eye care and treatment have received proper medical attention.
