Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to honor the world reknowned artist. Morris Katz. for his exemplary career. A refugee of World War II and survivor of the concentration camp experience. Morris Katz came to America exactly 40 years ago. He was barely 17 years old. Unversed in American culture. he could not speak or write English. He came to our country bereft of assets. save one. a tremendous talent for creative art. Mr. Katzs career as an artist actually began in Poland when he found a knife by a riverside. Picking it up. but not having any paints. he began dabbling with mud from the waters edge.
