On the recordApril 21, 1994

earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend an event at which my good friend, Mary Woodard Lasker, served as honorary chairperson. Although she was not present in body, her vision and strength were felt in every corner of the room. Mary passed away recently, leaving many lasting tributes to her work. Her legacy reflects her dedication to the conquest of disease and disability. I ask unanimous consent to insert in the Record a tribute to Mary given by Terry Lierman, president of Capitol Associates. Terry, a former staff member to Senator Warren Magnuson, was a partner and treasured friend to Mary Lasker in all of her efforts in medical research. He tutored under a truly great mentor in this field and I have no doubt he will continue to advocate for this critical issue in loving memory of Mary Lasker.
