   HONORING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ATASCOSA COUNTY COMMISSIONER DAVID

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Atascosa County 
Commissioner David Caballero for undertaking a lifetime of 
distinguished public service.
  Commissioner Caballero has followed in the footsteps of his father, 
who was once a long-serving Atascosa Constable, in seeking an elected 
position of leadership. After serving his first term, his tireless 
devotion to ensuring that Atascosa County continues to develop 
economically, creating more jobs for the constituents he serves, led 
him to pursue and win term of service as County Commissioner.
  Most importantly, Commissioner Caballero has continued to hold the 
values of community, faith and family in the highest regard. Nothing 
exemplifies this more than his committed participation with the 
Pleasanton Little League, St. Andrews Catholic Church of Pleasanton, 
Our Lady of Guadalupe Church of Leming, and the Verdi Community Center.
  He has spearheaded and now hosts an Annual Easter Egg Hunt that 
serves as an excellent opportunity to draw the entire community of 
families together in his precinct. Commissioner Caballero most deserves 
recognition for choosing to be an agent for real change, focusing on 
making government smarter and serving his constituency while saving his 
County money.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand in recognition of the dedication of 
Atascosa County Commissioner David Caballero.
