  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the California 
Association of Real Estate Brokers, Inc. for their many contributions 
to the real estate industry.
  The California Association of Real Estate Brokers, Inc. (CAREB) is 
the state chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, 
the oldest minority real estate association in America. CAREB has been 
instrumental in promoting the participation of minorities in the real 
estate industry and has been responsible for many of the anti-
discrimination and fair housing laws which now exist locally and across 
the country.

  The members of the California Association of Real Estate Brokers are 
outstanding men and women dedicated to providing fair and equal housing 
opportunities, equal employment and equal representation in the 
political arena as well as the business community.
  I ask Congress to join me and the constituents of the 9th 
Congressional District as we salute the California Association of Real 
Estate Brokers, Inc. for their endless service to our community. We 
wish them many years of continued success helping to fulfill the 
American dream of homeownership.
