                    IN MEMORY OF MR. ARTHUR SALTZMAN

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today in honor and in 
memory of a dear friend of mine, Mr. Arthur Saltzman, of Franklin, 
Michigan, who passed away on June 18, 2000, at the age of 79. Mr. 
Saltzman was not only a friend, but an inspiration--a man who dedicated 
much of his life to improving the State of Michigan.
  Born in New York City in 1920, Mr. Saltzman came to Michigan to work 
for Ford Motor Company, where he was in charge of training/management 
programs for salaried employees.
  After Mr. Saltzman retired from Ford, he worked for the Greater 
Detroit Chamber of Commerce, was a consultant with the U.S. Department 
of Energy in Washington, DC, and was Director of the Michigan State 
University Advanced Management Program in Troy, Michigan. He also was 
Director of the Michigan Economic Opportunity Office and a member of 
the Oakland University Charter Board of Trustees.
  Mr. Saltzman earned his Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees 
from New York University. During World War II, he was with the Army 
Specialized Training Program, serving in both the Philippines and 
Tokyo.
  Surviving Mr. Saltzman are his wife, Florence, with whom he 
celebrated his 50th Anniversary on January 30, 1999; daughters Amie R. 
Saltzman and Sarah Saltzman; his sister, Doris Chartow of Syracuse, New 
York; grandchildren, Joshua and Joanna; five nephews and four nieces.
  Mr. President, Arthur Saltzman was a leader in the Michigan 
Republican Party at both the State and County level. I had the 
privilege to work with him on many occasions, and I found it to be a 
wonderful experience each and every time. Arthur was a man who truly 
enjoyed life, and his love for living was infectious. I am sure that he 
will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
