                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 19, 2006

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lula Morales, owner 
of Lula Morales Realty Inc., on her being selected ``2006 Laredo 
Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Business Person of the Year'' by the 
Laredo Development Foundation's Small Business Development Center, the 
U.S. Small Business Administration, and the Laredo Chamber of Commerce.
  Ms. Morales, a native of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, came to Laredo by 
way of San Antonio where she attended Incarnate Word High School and 
Incarnate Word College where she met her husband, Richard Morales in 
1989. She has pioneered the way for women in the commercial real estate 
industry by harnessing the bounty of international trade and investing 
in economic growth in the city of Laredo in the great State of Texas. 
She first started out by selling properties but she soon discovered her 
passion for commercial real estate by developing Regency Park.
  Ms. Morales is one of the pillars of the real estate industry in 
Laredo, Texas, and she helped in the unprecedented economic growth of 
Laredo through her company, Lula Morales Realty, Inc. Her willingness 
in reaching her goals by helping others achieve their dreams of owning 
their own homes or businesses, and going the extra mile for her clients 
have brought her to where she is today as the 2006 Laredo Chamber of 
Commerce Distinguished Business Person of the Year.
  Mr. Speaker, thank you for allowing me to honor Ms. Morales, owner of 
Lula Morales Reality, Inc., in Laredo, Texas, in recognition of her 
selection as the 2006 Laredo Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Business 
Person of the Year.
