                        Thursday, March 11, 1999

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my best wishes to the 
members of the University High School's Mariachi Cultural. This group 
represents Texas' multicultural heritage and helps instill pride in our 
Hispanic culture.
  The group was started in March 1997, under the capable leadership of 
Jose Nino. Since then, the volunteer student group has performed at 
numerous events and was featured on Univision, the international cable 
station.
  Earlier this year, the group was able to purchase new uniforms after 
a successful fundraising effort. The Waco community came out full force 
for this talented musical group and made the new uniforms a reality.
  I ask members to join me in congratulating this special group on 
their musical successes.
