                      Wednesday, October 10, 2007

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the Greater 
Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on the distinction of being named 
the ``National Hispanic Chamber of the Year'' by the United States 
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
  As a six-time recipient of this award, the Greater Dallas Hispanic 
Chamber of Commerce has received this honor more than any other 
Hispanic Chamber in the Nation.
  For the past 68 years, the chamber has promoted programs such as the 
Business Assistance Centers, the Viva Dallas Hispanic Expo, BizFest, 
and the Stars on the Rise Award & Scholarship Banquet and their newly 
created External Affairs Department.
  I offer my congratulations to the general membership, past and 
present, along with the current board of directors and staff for this 
recent achievement. As one of the congressional representatives of the 
members of this organization, it is my distinct pleasure to recognize 
them today in the United States House of Representatives.

                          ____________________
