                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Martin Tuman for being elected Chancellor of the Knights 
of Pythias of New Jersey, as well as for a lifetime of achievements. 
Mr. Tuman has had, and continues to have, a very successful career. He 
has used his talents to help his community through his work.
  Mr. Tuman joined the Knights of Pythias in 1956. Since then, he has 
been an active member. During the past 38 years, he has served the 
organization on countless committees. He has been a charter officer and 
has served as secretary of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of 
The State of New Jersey Charities Foundation, Inc., since its 
inception.
  Mr. Tuman has lived in Bayonne his entire life. He attended the 
Roberson School, Bayonne High School and then went on to receive a 
Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science from Rutgers 
University in 1950. In 1953, he received a law degree from Rutgers Law 
School. In January, 1956, he was admitted to the New Jersey Bar. From 
1963-68, he served as assistant U.S. attorney of the State of New 
Jersey, civil division. In June of 1968 of that same year was admitted 
to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States of America. 
In August of 1969, he was admitted to the Tax Court of United States. 
Mr. Tuman has also been involved in the judicial system on a local 
level, as acting magistrate for the city of Bayonne in 1961 and 1962.
  Mr. Tuman is a member of a number of associations, such as the Hudson 
County Bar Association, the New Jersey State Bar Association and the 
National Association of Trail Attorneys. In addition, he was president 
of the Temple Emanu-El of Bayonne for 2 years and currently serves on 
various committees for the Temple.
  Mr. Tuman has always found time in his busy schedule to volunteer his 
time to the citizens of Bayonne. He was a key player in the Bayonne 
Council Boy Scouts of America and served as the council's president 
from 1971-74. For his services, he received the Silver Beaver Award and 
the Shofer Award.
  It is impossible to state all of Mr. Tuman's accomplishments. He has 
done so much for the citizens of New Jersey and America; too much to 
mention here. Needless to say, Mr. Tuman is an exemplary citizen. He 
has shown his dedication to the community time and again. I commend him 
for his many achievements and wish him continued success.
