  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I inform the 
House of the death of Vice Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski, USN, Ret.
  Admiral Cebrowski was born in Passaic, NJ. He graduated from 
Villanova University in 1964. He received a master's degree in Computer 
Systems Management from the Naval Post Graduate School and attended the 
Naval War College.
  In 1964, he entered the Navy through the Reserve Officers Training 
Corps. He was a naval aviator and commanded Fighter Squadron 41 and Air 
Wing 8. He commanded the assault ship USS Guam, the aircraft carrier 
USS Midway and the USS America Battle Group. He had combat experience 
in Vietnam and Desert Storm. His joint assignments included service as 
the director, Command, Control, Communications and Computers, J-6, 
Joint Staff. He also had served in the Office of the Chief of Naval 
Operations as director of space, information warfare, and command and 
control. Admiral Cebrowski retired from the Navy on October 1, 2001, 
after serving as the president of the Naval War College in Newport, RI. 
On November 26, 2001, Admiral Cebrowski was appointed to the position 
of director, Office of Force Transformation.
  Mr. Speaker, Admiral Cebrowski was a valuable leader in the U.S. Navy 
and our country. I know the Members of the House will join me in 
extending heartfelt condolences to his family.
