    RECOGNIZING KATHY ARTS OF THE FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF 
                               CALIFORNIA

  (Mr. McCLINTOCK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, Walt Whitman explained the story of 
mankind when he said: ``The powerful play goes on, and you will 
contribute a verse.''
  I rise today to recognize the many verses contributed by an 
extraordinary lady, Kathy Arts. Kathy has managed my district office 
for nearly 7 years and is retiring to contribute still more verses 
through her family, her friends, colleagues, community, and church.
  Whether as a small-business owner for the past 28 years, a volunteer 
coordinator for local county fairs and community festivals or a charity 
fundraiser, Kathy is the paragon of a go-to person.
  Kathy's most conspicuous virtue is her genuine concern for helping 
others, and that has been a godsend to my office and to the people of 
the Fourth Congressional District of California. In this, she is 
irreplaceable.
  When I think of a meaningful life, I think of Kathy Arts and rise to 
thank her for her public service.
