                      COMMENDING REBECCA S. FINLEY

<bullet> Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, I am delighted today to bring to 
the attention of my colleagues the installation next month of Rebecca 
S. Finley, Pharm.D, M.S., as the president of the American Society of 
Health-System Pharmacists at the society's 52d annual meeting in 
Philadelphia.
  ASHP is the 30,000-member national professional association that 
represents pharmacists who practice in hospitals, health maintenance 
organizations, long-term facilities, home care agencies, and other 
components of health care systems.
  Early in her career, Dr. Finley made the professional commitment to 
practice, research, write, and teach pharmacy in the challenging field 
of clinical oncology. She currently directs the section of pharmacy 
services and is associate professor of oncology at the University of 
Maryland Cancer Center in Baltimore. She holds an appointment as 
associate professor in the department of clinical pharmacy at the 
university's school of pharmacy.
  Dr. Finley received her bachelor of science and doctor of pharmacy 
degrees from the University of Cincinnati and a master of science in 
institutional pharmacy from the University of Maryland.
  On behalf of my colleagues, Mr. President, I want to extend my best 
wishes to Dr. Finlay in her tenure as president of ASHP. I look forward 
to working with her and the society on health care issues in the years 
to come.<bullet>
