                      Wednesday, December 19, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Cleveland Chapter of the Knights of Rizal, and to celebrate their 
contributions in service to the Filipino community of Cleveland.
  The Knights of Rizal are named after Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal, 
martyred in 1896 in the midst of the fight for Filipino independence 
from Spain. Dr. Rizal was an inspiration to a whole country and to 
celebrate his contributions to the fight for independence for the 
Philippines.
  The Cleveland Chapter of the Knights of Rizal was founded fifteen 
years ago and has served the Filipino community with dedication and 
distinction.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognizing the 
Cleveland chapter of the Knights of Rizal. I commend the Knights of 
Rizal for their commitment to the Filipino community and the greater 
community of Cleveland.
