                                 ______

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 14, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of San Antonio City Councilman Roger Flores.
  Roger Flores is a San Antonio native, from a small business family 
with a tradition of public service.
  He graduated from Central Catholic High School, and received his 
Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University, where he was a member of 
the Fighting Aggie Band.
  After college, Roger returned to San Antonio to join his family's 
restaurant business. He managed and operated two restaurants, and also 
found time to serve his community as the Vice President of the St. 
Anthony Elementary School Board, and as a member of the board of 
Positive Beginnings, Inc.
  On May 27 of 2004, Roger was elected to the Council seat that his 
father had held four years before. Roger credits his family as an 
inspiration for his public service, and believes deeply in the role of 
the community in supporting and encouraging strong families.
  Mr. Speaker, Roger Flores is the kind of citizen who holds our 
communities together: a successful small businessman, a dedicated 
father, and a selfless volunteer and public servant. I thank him for 
his commitment, and congratulate him on his election to the San Antonio 
City Council.
