  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chairman Ashok 
Kumar Mago receiving the Padma Shri Award and to congratulate him on 
this honor.
   As Chairman and CEO of Mago and Associates and Founder of the 
Greater Dallas Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, Chairman Mago's 
accomplishments are outstanding and he is truly deserving of this 
prestigious award. By focusing on networking, expanding business 
opportunities, and fostering trade between our two nations, the chamber 
has grown into an influential organization in Texas. I want to commend 
Chairman Mago on his leadership and dedication to the chamber and 
giving the local Indian community a united voice. His belief in giving 
back to his community is admirable and evident in his actions, such as 
raising hundreds and thousands of dollars for charities and generously 
devoting his time to serve in numerous civic organizations.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in expressing 
our heartiest congratulations and best wishes to Chairman Ashok Kumar 
Mago as he continues to encourage trade and business relations between 
the United States and India.
