  Mr. PACKARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a truly 
outstanding athlete, Mr. Dan Ramierez of Oceanside, CA. Mr. Ramierez 
recently competed at the U.S. Olympic Festival in St. Louis. He won a 
gold medal in the 105.5 pounds freestyle wrestling event.
  Mr. Ramierez has competed in numerous national competitions. His 
career is distinguished with such accolades as finishing second at the 
University National Competition in 1994, finishing third at the 
University National Competition in 1993, finishing sixth in the U.S. 
Open in Las Vegas, NV, finishing third in the 1993 Olympic Festival, 
and finishing seventh in the California State Championships. Further, 
he is a two time Master Champion and a university PAC-10 qualifier.
  Mr. Dan Ramierez will complete his undergraduate university education 
at California State University Fullerton this May. He will graduate 
with a B.S. degree in business. I commend Dan for his achievements thus 
far and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope you and my colleagues will join me in recognizing 
the accomplishments of Dan Ramierez. It is my sincere belief that Mr. 
Ramierez will further distinguish himself in the sport of wrestling. I 
join friends and family who salute him.
