                       HONORING RICARDO PAU-LLOSA

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate a great 
artist from my congressional district, Ricardo Pau-Llosa. Ricardo is a 
man of many talents. He is a poet, critic, curator, professor, and 
collector. Yet his generosity and desire to give back is what stands 
him apart from others.
  Ricardo has graciously opened his personal art collection for an 
important exhibition that will take place soon. This August, the 
University of Notre Dame's Snite Museum of Art will open an exhibition 
of contemporary Latin American artwork. He has also been invited by the 
Museum of the Americas at the OAS to give a talk on the significance 
and themes of the exhibition.
  Ricardo has been a renowned art critic for many years. He has been a 
senior editor of Art International, North American editor for Southward 
Art, and a contributor and adviser to the encyclopedic Dictionary of 
Art.
  Ricardo is a frequent lecturer at major art museums such as the Art 
Institute of Chicago. He has published six books of poems and has been 
published in many literary magazines.
  Ricardo, thank you for opening up your collection to us all in the 
hopes of educating and inspiring others. You are truly a renaissance 
man. Congratulations.
