                        TRIBUTE TO MONTE ZUCKER

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to one of our 
Nation's preeminent photographers, Monte Zucker. Mr. Zucker has been a 
creative force in his field for over 50 years. Through his brilliant 
eye and focused lens, he has earned a place in the annals of 
photographic masters.
  Monte Zucker created contemporary standards for lighting and 
composition in photographic portraiture. His work is beloved by his 
clients who cherished the memories so beautifully captured on film. His 
work is also admired by his peers, who recognize the unique signature 
and integrity in his work.
  Mr. Zucker has been mentor to the next generation of photographers. 
He has taken a leadership role in training emerging artists who, like 
him, aspire to capture special moments and create memories for families 
to treasure for years to come.
  He is an impressive artist and a caring and compassionate member of 
his community. In 2002, the UN named him Portrait Photographer of the 
Year. He has made an incredible difference in the world of photography, 
and it is a pleasure to bring his extraordinary work to the attention 
of my colleagues.
