                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 16, 2006

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Judge Arthur 
K. Weinstein on the occasion of his retirement. Judge Weinstein is 
being honored by his colleagues, family and friends for his lifelong 
commitment to public service.
  After graduating from Boston University, Arthur's mother encouraged 
him to ``do something for the world.'' Inspired by her words, he joined 
the Peace Corps. He was assigned to a small, remote village in Malawi, 
Africa where he helped build a clinic for infants which is still in use 
today. Although he had to extend his stay an additional year to 
complete the project, he never wavered. The clinic has helped save the 
lives of hundreds of thousands of children.
  In 1969, not wanting to veer from his personal mission, Arthur moved 
to California to attend UCLA and earn a masters degree in public 
health. He then served as a senior health educator for the county of 
Los Angeles. During these years he married, raised a family and 
attended evening law school classes. His strong interest in public 
service led him to become a defense attorney for the State Compensation 
and Insurance Fund and a certified specialist in Workers Compensation 
Law.
  Arthur Weinstein was appointed a Workers Compensation judge nearly 5 
years ago, achieving a long sought after goal. He has earned a stellar 
reputation and the respect of his peers. Judge Weinstein is married to 
Dina and they have three grown children and six grandchildren.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting an outstanding member of 
the community, Judge Arthur Weinstein.
