                          HON. HILDA L. SOLIS

                       Tuesday, October 16, 2007

  Ms. SOLIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Univision on 
the launch of the new political news show ``Al Punto.''
  ``Al Punto'' is paving the way to promote dialogue within the growing 
politically active and conscious Latino community. For 1 hour every 
Sunday, the show will bring together newsmakers, policymakers, business 
and political leaders, or entertainers to talk about the contemporary 
issues that affect the Latino community. The discussions will go beyond 
politics to include culture, science, and the arts. Furthermore, ``Al 
Punto'' will address current events in Latin America which impact the 
Latino community at home. This show will work to enlighten and empower 
the Latino community, as it will provide them with vital information on 
the current issues and news events that are impacting their everyday 
lives.
  Again, I would like to recognize and congratulate Univision on the 
launch of ``Al Punto'' and for its contributions in educating the 
Latino community on political issues. I wish it continued success.
