                        HISPANIC AWARDS CEREMONY

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize an 
important event in the State of Michigan. Today, the Flint Hispanic 
Community is holding its Annual Hispanic Awards Ceremony.
  The Hispanic Community of Genesse County, MI, gathers every year to 
recognize outstanding individuals in its community. This year's 
recipients have had a profound impact in the life of the Hispanic 
citizenry of Flint. Mr. Christopher Flores, Ms. Marcie Forsleff, Mr. 
Pedro Suarez, Ms. Sue Quintanilla, Mr. Refugio Rodriguez, and Ms. 
Marcie Garcia are each truly deserving of the awards they have received 
and should be proud of this accomplishment.
  I commend each individual who has worked to achieve cultural 
understanding and racial tolerance in the greater Flint area. The 
Hispanic Community should be proud of its leadership and continued 
efforts in promoting cultural awareness.
  Again, I send my warmest congratulations to the award recipients and 
their families. I am pleased to recognize the Flint Hispanic Community 
in the U.S. Senate.
