        IN HONOR OF DIARIO LAS AMERICAS ON ITS 41ST ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______


                        HON. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 12, 1994

  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, in commemorating the 41st year of the 
first edition of Diario Las Americas, I would like to extend my 
sincerest congratulations and admiration for the wonderful job that for 
these four decades Dr. Horacio Aguirre and his great newspaper have 
performed for the south Florida community, as well as for Spanish-
speaking communities throughout the United States.
  Diario Las Americas' philosophy, under Doctor Aguirre's expert 
supervision and with the collaboration of the distinguished Aguirre 
family, has always contributed to social peace in our communities, 
progress and brotherhood within our diverse society. People of all 
ethnic backgrounds inevitably find an effective and honest fighter for 
their rights in Diario Las Americas.
  I also cannot fail to mention Horacio Aguirre's and Diario Las 
Americas' participation in the cause of freedom and liberty for Cuba 
and Nicaragua. For all this, and much more, I would like to publicly 
congratulate Dr. Horacio Aguirre and Diario Las Americas and pledge 
continued solidarity with them. I wish Doctor Aguirre, his family, and 
Diario Las Americas continued success and good fortune.

                          ____________________
