  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize San Antonio Councilman 
Enrique M. Barrera for a lifetime of distinguished public service.
  Enrique Barrera began his professional career as an educator with the 
San Felipe School District in Del Rio Texas. His strong passion and 
dedication to serve the community lead him to move to San Antonio to 
serve as a counselor, social worker and administrator.
  He later worked as an Employee Department Specialist with the United 
States Office of Personnel Management and then later as a Chief of 
Civilian Personnel Training at Randolph Air Force Base.
  He continued with his professional career at the State Level and 
served with the Texas Department of Community Affairs, the Texas 
Department of Commerce and the Texas workforce commission.
  In 2001 he decided to make a run for San Antonio City Council, and in 
May he was elected to District 6. In May 2003, he was re-elected to his 
second term, and has since brought integrity to the seat.
  Mr. Speaker, an Antonio Councilman Enrique Barrera is a credit to his 
community and a tremendous resource to his county, and I am glad I had 
this opportunity to thank him for his work and dedication.
