                      Wednesday, December 10, 2014

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Roberto Galvez Junior of Laredo, Texas.
  Mr. Galvez was born in 1971 in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas to parents 
Roberto Galvez Martinez and Gloria Irma Alcala de Galvez. As the eldest 
of three brothers, Mr. Galvez studied in Mexico up until high school.
  For decades, Mr. Galvez has been involved in broadcasting for both 
Mexico and the United States in radio and television. He began his 
career as a sports correspondent in 1990, and then became a sports 
broadcaster for KLDO Univision Laredo in 1998. From 2008 to 2010, Mr. 
Galvez became editorial director for the popular magazine ``Mas 
Accion,'' where he emphasized the importance of athletics in Laredo and 
the surrounding region.
  Since 2010, Mr. Galvez has worked as Sports Director and Anchor for 
Telemundo Laredo Channel 25. Motivated by a desire to give back to his 
community, he has collected toys for underprivileged children during 
the holidays for the past four years.
  Mr. Roberto Galvez has been honored with the ``Best Sports Anchor'' 
national award from the Mexican Federation of Sports Newscasters for 
his important work in sports journalism. Additionally, he has been 
named the best sports reporter in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas by 
this organization and will receive the award in a ceremony in Torreon, 
Coahuila in February, 2015.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize 
Roberto Galvez Junior for his many accomplishments and great 
contributions to the Laredo area. I thank you for this time.
