                          TRIBUTE TO EZRA KATZ

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a south 
Florida leader for his widespread community involvement and his 
dedication to keeping alive the memory and the lessons of the 
Holocaust.
  Ezra Katz has been the president of the Greater Miami Jewish 
Federation, a member of the board of directors of the Foundation for 
Jewish Renewal, and a founder and life trustee of the Holocaust 
Memorial Committee of Miami Beach.
  Ezra Katz immigrated to the United States in 1958 from Israel. He has 
stood up for the rights of the Jewish people and has been a staunch 
supporter of the State of Israel. Ezra is a role model and a model 
citizen for all of us in south Florida, young and old alike.
  It is my pleasure and honor to commend Ezra Katz as the inaugural 
recipient of the Simon Wiesenthal Legacy Award.
