                         HON. RONALD D. COLEMAN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 13, 1995
  Mr. COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to the League of 
United Latin American Citizens as they celebrate the week of the 12th 
through the 18th of February, 1995, as LULAC National Week.
  LULAC, the oldest and largest Hispanic volunteer organization in the 
country, is an American success story. More than 110,000 members in 45 
States have reaped the benefits of this exemplary organization since 
1929.
  This week honors the LULAC experience. From its roots in promoting 
civil rights to its activities in providing equal access to educational 
opportunities for all Hispanic-Americans, LULAC is committed to the 
promise of Hispanics in America.
  This week we observe and honor the benefits of LULAC which include 
economic development, housing, education, employment, civil rights, and 
business development. My congressional district includes many LULAC 
chapters all striving to address the many complex issues impacting 
Hispanics at all levels.
  Mr. Speaker, as LULAC celebrates its legacy this week, the 
organization is seen as an integral part of the American mosaic. Since 
1929, LULAC has endured with honor and a proven record of success. its 
proud supporters include the public and private sectors and other 
volunteer organizations. Today, its proudest supporters, the members 
themselves, look to the future for more of the same. LULAC has earned 
the support and respect of the Nation.
