                       TRIBUTE TO ARTHUR E. KATZ

 Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, I wish to commend the life's 
work of a good man and a great American, Arthur E. Katz.
  On Friday, April 23, Arthur was inducted into the U.S. Coast Guard 
Academy's Wall of Gallantry for his service to our Nation.
  In 1963, Arthur graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, where 
soon afterward, he headed to Vietnam.
  He served as commanding officer of USCGC Point Cypress from December 
1965 to September 1966.
  For his leadership and bravery during this tour of duty, Arthur was 
awarded a Bronze Star Medal for Valor
  Following his service in the Coast Guard, he went on to establish a 
successful business in Dunwoody, GA.

  Arthur currently resides in Sandy Springs, a place he has come to 
love and call home. He is a devoted and loving husband of 46 years, 
father of three daughters and grandfather of seven.
  As a well-respected member of the community, Arthur has been involved 
in numerous roles, such as the past president of the Temple Emanu-El 
synagogue in Sandy Springs and as a board member of the Marcus Jewish 
Community Center of Atlanta.
  His commitment to community service and volunteerism has been 
tremendously valuable, and I am sure he has touched many lives over the 
years.
  Arthur Katz is a true champion of patriotism and it is only fitting 
that he be honored and featured at the Wall of Gallantry at the U.S. 
Coast Guard Academy.
