                       HONORING JUDGE ASCHER KATZ

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 1999

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak in praise of a man who 
has devoted himself to his community. Judge Ascher Katz is not only 
Administrative Town Judge of Greenburgh, serving on the bench for 23 
years, but a man who has immersed himself in the judicial profession as 
a Director of the County Magistrates Association and as a Chairman of 
the state Bar Association Committee on District, City, Village and Town 
Courts.
  Judge Katz is also in Who's Who in American Law and a senior partner 
in his law firm. But he also serves the community as a whole; as a 
Charter Member of the U.S. Holocaust Commission, in the Jewish War 
Veterans, as a board member of the American Cancer Society, and in the 
Rotary and B'nai B'rith. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and he 
and his wife have three daughters. On his retirement I want to thank 
him for all he has done for his community and to wish him the very 
best.
