                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 31, 1995

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Mr. Carlos Garcia, 
a remarkable journalist and a dear friend, who was honored on October 
20 at a banquet dinner in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of 
Guayaquil 85, Inc., in Queens, NY.
  Mr. Garcia, who was born in Ecuador, came to the United States in his 
youth. With perseverance and dedication, he started an exceptional 
career as a reporter.
  During his 23-year career, Mr. Garcia has been able to inform members 
of the Hispanic community, who like him, were always anxious to learn 
about the latest news on Latin America, the United States, and their 
immediate communities.
  Through accurate and timely reporting, Mr. Garcia gained the 
recognition of his peers and became news editor at Noticias del Mundo, 
one of the most widely read newspapers in Spanish in the New York City 
area. He also worked for the Spanish radio station Radio WADO, and 
continues to produce the morning news program ``Buenos Dias America.''
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mr. Carlos 
Garcia for his 23 years of work as an outstanding journalist and for 
his service to the community.
