  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Manolo del Canal, an entertainment 
promoter in my Congressional district, has had many successes in his 
field.
  Mr. del Canal has had experience as a new director for the radio show 
``Cuba al Dia'' which aired on WFAB in Miami. He was also a pioneer in 
establishing the idea of listeners calling directly to the shows they 
were hearing with their comments, otherwise known as radio call-in 
shows. He was one of the first to use this idea in his show called 
``Opinion Publica''.
  Another facet of Mr. del Canal's talents was his experience as a 
journalist, for he managed and operated a local newspaper called La 
Prensa. Mr. del Canal is currently in the business of promoting Latin 
American singers and actors. His goal is to make these Hispanic talents 
a household name in our great country.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Manolo del Canal works hard on his craft every day.
