                          HONORING SARAH KATZ

  (Mr. MENENDEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Sarah Katz, an 
empathetic, driven, and compassionate young woman, whose life was 
tragically cut short 3 years ago today.
  A native of Jersey City and graduate of Elisabeth Irwin High School 
in New York, Sarah devoted her life to helping others, working with the 
American Heart Association and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to 
raise awareness about heart health and the importance of CPR.
  Sarah was admired by so many in our community, especially her 
classmates and mentors at the University of Pennsylvania.
  Above all else, she was deeply loved by her family, her parents, Jill 
and Michael, and her sister, Dana. Amid unimaginable grief, her family 
turned to action, honoring Sarah's life by advocating for change.
  It has been a privilege to join them in this effort, introducing the 
Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act to save lives and prevent more families 
from having to endure the pain that the Katz family has felt. Every 
step of the way, their love for Sarah has been at the forefront of 
their advocacy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join in this important effort and 
help drive change that will save lives. May Sarah's memory always be a 
blessing.
