                        TRIBUTE TO ART GINSBURG

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 8, 2004

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join me 
in saluting my good friend, Mr. Art Ginsburg. On November 6, 2004, the 
Los Angeles Valley College will honor him at its annual President's 
Gala. Art is a successful businessman and respected community leader 
who selflessly devotes much of his time and resources to community, 
governmental, civic and charitable organizations.
  As the Vice President of the Los Angeles City Planning Review Board, 
he works hard to enhance the commercial areas of Studio City. He is a 
founding member of the Studio City Improvement Association and helped 
create its ``Sidewalk Walk of Fame.'' Also, Art has been an active 
member of the Studio City Chamber of Commerce for 47 years and he 
serves as a member of the Studio City Residents Association.
  A wonderful place to eat and one of the San Fernando Valley's famous 
landmarks is ``Art's Delicatessen and Restaurant'' in Studio City. It 
is a family run business that has been a favorite of many of my 
constituents since its opening in 1957. I know first-hand that, ``every 
sandwich is a work of Art.''
  In addition to his business accomplishments, Art is a strong 
supporter of Los Angeles Valley College which he attended in 1956 and 
1957. He is a member of the Board of Directors college foundation, the 
Patrons Association, and serves on the business liaison, executive 
council and scholarship committees. He has established a number of 
scholarships that have greatly benefitted many students. Art frequently 
sponsors campus activities by providing food from his Deli.
  Art and his lovely wife, Sandy, have three children and three 
grandchildren. Two more grandchildren are expected soon.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in saluting my good friend Art 
Ginsburg and congratulating him on the honor being bestowed on him by 
Los Angeles Valley College.
