 RECOGNIZING THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL OF EL PASO, 
                                 TEXAS

  (Mr. REYES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, I am proud to rise today in recognition of 
the 80th anniversary of Cathedral High School located in my district in 
El Paso, Texas.
  Since Cathedral High School opened its doors with a faculty of four 
LaSallian brothers in 1925, it has woven itself into the fabric of the 
El Paso-Ciudad Juarez community.
  The school has educated and taught the histories of two cultures and 
two nations to the sons of both. Over the years, Cathedral has produced 
thousands of college-bound graduates, many of whom have become great 
civic leaders and accomplished professionals. Among these men we count 
Ambassador Raymond Telles.
  Ambassador Telles' Cathedral education prepared him to become the 
first Hispanic mayor of El Paso and to be appointed ambassador to Costa 
Rica, among many distinguished posts which he held.
  He is an inspiration to generations of Cathedral graduates, to El 
Pasoans, and to Hispanics across the United States. Madam Speaker, I 
ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 80th anniversary of 
Cathedral High School and wishing them continued success and 
excellence.
