S6700 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE May 15, 1995 

COMMEMORATING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PADOVANO 

COLLECTION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME 

∑ Mr. BRADLEY. Mr. President, I rise 

today in recognition of the lifetime 

achievements of my constituent, Dr. 

Anthony T. Padovano, who has bequeathed his personal papers to the archives of the Theodore Hesburgh Memorial Library at the University of 

Notre Dame. 

A leader in the post-Vatican–II 

Catholic reform movement and chairman of the literature program at Ramapo College of New Jersey, Dr. 

Padovano has dedicated over 30 years 

to the study and advancement of the 

Catholic Church. Ordained a Catholic 

priest in 1959, Dr. Padovano was closely 

associated with the Vatican II Ecumenical Council which met from 1962 

to 1965. During this time, he emerged 

as an advocate for the ordination of 

married men and women, more democratic and participatory church discussion, significant church involvement in 

issues of social justice, and greater 

interreligious harmony. 

Throughout the 1960’s and early 

1970’s, Dr. Padovano authored key letters for the National Council of Catholic Bishops and taught systematic theology at Gregorian University’s Seminary until he married in 1974. Unable 

to remain at the seminary, but still 

able to follow his religious calling, Dr. 

Padovano became involved in the 

founding of Ramapo College and its 

mission of interdisciplinary learning as 

a professor of American literature and 

religious studies. 

A professor, award-winning author, 

and reform leader, Dr. Padovano continues his study of morality and ethics 

in our society. As founder and president of CORPUS, National Association 

for a Married Priesthood, and vice 

president of the International Federation of Married Catholic Priests, Dr. 

Padovano continues to address the 

most controversial issues confronting 

the Catholic Church. 

The Padavano collection carries with 

it 30 years of scholarship, authorship, 

and independent thought which will 

guide students of theology, the Catholic Church and its reform movement in 

their quest for greater understanding. I 

am honored to pay tribute, on behalf of 

New Jersey and the Nation, to Dr. 

Padovano, his scholarship and his generous gift to the University of Notre 

Dame.∑

HONORING DR. JAN MOORJANKOWSKI 

∑ Mr. D’AMATO. Mr. President, at this 

time I would like to pay tribute to an 

outstanding professor at New York 

University by the name of Jan MoorJankowski. Dr. Moor-Jankowski, a 

world renowned research physician and 

trailblazer on scientific first amendment rights, has been unanimously 

elected to the late Dr. Linus Pauling’s 

chair at the French National Academy 

of Medicine, Division of Biologic 

Sciences. 

The origins of the French Academy 

of Medicine extend to the Royal Academies of the 18th century. The Academy provides a forum for medical debates and advises the French Government on health-related matters. Louis 

Pasteur was one of its notable members. A limited number of distinguished 

non-French scientists are elected to 

provide representation of the worldwide scientific community. An election 

is for lifetime and only occurs when a 

chair is vacated. 

Election to the Academy is one of 

France’s highest and rarest honors, reserved for the most respected scientist 

in the world. At the time of his election, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Pauling 

was virtually a household name thanks 

to his groundbreaking theories on the 

effects of vitamins on cancer and other 

diseases. Like Dr. Pauling, Dr. MoorJankowski was chosen from a list of 

highly regarded candidates as the sole 

U.S. citizen to be honored with membership on the biological sciences 

board of the Academy. 

For example, this latest award is 

only the last in a string of scientific 

honors bestowed on Dr. MoorJankowski. In 1994, he was given the 

William J. Brennan, Jr. Defense of 

Freedom Award by the Libel Defense 

Resource Center. In addition, in 1984, 

Dr. Moor-Jankowski was made a 

Knight of the French Order ‘‘Ordre National de Merite’’ for World War II resistance and scientific achievements. 

Other medals and awards from Israel, 

the U.S.S.R., Italy, and Switzerland 

have punctuated his career. 

Dr. Moor-Jankowski is an alumnus of 

the Swiss universities of Fribourg and 

Berne. He began his career at the University of Geneva where his research 

interests in the study of polymorphic 

phenotypic expressions of the genetic 

substrate of man led to his discovery of 

clinically silent hemophilia B, and of 

the significant genetic drift of blood 

group frequencies in the inhabitants of 

the highest Alpine villages. During 

subsequent research at Cambridge University, Dr. Moor-Jankowski discovered the polymorphism of allotypes of 

serum proteins in mice and monkeys. 

For the past 30 years, Dr. MoorJankowski’s laboratory, LEMSIP, has 

been participating in international collaborative studies leading to the development of the first tests for and vaccines against various forms of infectious hepatitis, and since 1987, in collaboration with Institute Pasteur, 

Paris, in the development of the first 

vaccines against AIDS. 

He also serves as Director of the 

World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Hematology of Primate Animals, and is editor-in-chief of 

the Journal of Medical Primatology. 

Again I would like to take this time 

to honor an outstanding New York 

resident who has devoted his life to enhancing the quality of life in this country and toward solving world health 

problems. We wish him continued success in all future endeavors.

TRIBUTE TO PETE BARBUTTI 

∑ Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today 

to recognize Pete Barbutti, whose talent, warmth, and generosity is deeply 

admired and appreciated throughout 

Las Vegas. I rise to pay tribute to 

Pete, a classic entertainer who helped 

make Las Vegas the entertainment 

capital of the world. 

Born in Scranton, PA, Pete Barbutti 

began his entertainment career at the 

young age of 11. At once, his musical 

genius on the accordion and percussion 

was apparent. By high school, it was no 

wonder he was voted ‘‘Most Popular 

Boy’’ and ‘‘Class Clown’’ for Pete was 

truly liked by all. 

After serving as assistant conductor 

in the Army Reserves, Pete brought his 

musician-comic flair to Las Vegas, 

where he formed his own group, a 

music-vocal-comedy quartet called the 

Millionaires. The group quickly became the favorite of many Las Vegas 

strip celebrities. 

Pete has worked with the best in entertainment including Steve Allen, Nat 

King Cole, Henry Mancini, and Frank 

Sinatra. Today, he maintains high visibility by working clubs, conventions, 

and fairs throughout the United States 

and Canada, and is famous for his hundreds of appearances on television talk 

shows. He has received countless 

awards including Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year and the Artistic 

Achievement Award from the American Federation of Musicians. 

Aside from his performing brilliance, 

Pete should be recognized for his philanthropic contributions. He played a 

key role in the success of the Take a 

Senior to Lunch program and has donated numerous hours helping seniors 

of the Las Vegas community. 

I extend my deepest appreciation to 

Pete Barbutti for graciously sharing 

his talent at the 1995 Senior Fair, and 

for the many smiles he has brought to 

Nevadans.∑
