                       TRIBUTE TO ARTHUR E. KATZ

 Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, I wish to honor in the Record of 
the Senate an honorable American and a great Georgian, Mr. Arthur E. 
Katz.
  Arthur graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in 1963. In 
Vietnam, he served as the commanding officer, USCGC Point Cypress, a 
unit attached to Division 13, Coast Guard Squadron One, from December 
1965 to September 1966. For his meritorious service, Arthur received 
the Bronze Star Medal, with Combat Distinguishing Device ``V''.
  Arthur attended Rutgers University, where he earned a masters degree 
in business administration. He is a successful small business owner, 
and his commitment to volunteerism and community service is evident 
through his roles as past president of Temple Emanu-Els Board of 
Trustees and board member of the Marcus Jewish Community Center of 
Atlanta.
  A longtime resident of Sandy Springs, GA, Arthur is an avid tennis 
player, fisherman, and a committed runner of the annual Peachtree Road 
Race. A dedicated and loving husband of 46 years, Arthur is the father 
of three daughters and is blessed with seven grandchildren.
  On April 23, 2010, Arthur will be inducted to the Wall of Gallantry 
at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. I cannot think of anyone 
more deserving of such an honor than this true champion of patriotism 
and a countryman, Arthur E. Katz.
