                        Thursday, April 2, 2009

  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
George R. Barbosa, Jr. for his determination to strive for the best by 
winning 4th place in the State Wrestling Tournament on behalf of Klein 
High School.
  Mr. Barbosa has shown through his hard work that anything is possible 
if one has the passion and determination to do so. Winning 4th place in 
the State Wrestling Tournament on Klein High School's behalf has made 
him the possessor of the best finish ever by a Klein High School male 
wrestler. Mr. Barbosa will continue his pursuit for greatness as he has 
now qualified for the National High School Wrestling Tournament.
  I extend my highest regard for Mr. George R. Barbosa, Jr., a student 
who has chosen to become a role model for not only his sport, but also 
for his school. On behalf of Klein High School and the City of Houston 
I send my congratulations.
