                       HON. ESTEBAN EDWARD TORRES

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. TORRES. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Maj. Edward 
Cabrera, who is a 1994 Hall of Fame Award recipient from the El Rancho 
Unified School District.
  Edward was raised in Pico Rivera. He attended local elementary and 
junior high schools and graduated from El Rancho in 1978.
  After graduating he accepted an appointment to the U.S. Air Force 
Academy in Colorado. He established an exceptional record of service in 
the U.S. Air Force as a fighter pilot and experimental test pilot. For 
the past 5 years he has been assigned to the Air Force Flight Test 
Center at Edwards Air Force Base. During the period he has furthered 
the combat capability and effectiveness of the F-16, one of the world's 
most technologically advanced fighter aircraft. His leadership, flying 
skills, and professionalism are of the highest caliber.
  Recently, Major Cabrera was selected to attend the Air Force Flight 
Test Center at Maxwell AFB, AL, an honor reserved for the most 
promising officers. This Air Force Flight Test Center is the premier 
research and development facility of its kind in the world.
  Major Cabrera's unique accomplishments reflect his qualifications in 
several award categories, including outstanding technical/professional 
achievement and most promising engineer.
  Major Cabrera serves as an inspiration and a role model to all those 
minority students who wish to serve their country by attending one of 
the U.S. services' academies. I commend Major Cabrera for the trails he 
blazed making it easier for those that will follow.
