                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the hard 
work and dedication of the recent graduates of the Texas Job Corps 
Centers.
  The four Job Corps centers in Texas have served the people of our 
great state for over 50 years, providing a no-cost education and career 
technical training program that helps young Texans from ages 16 to 24 
improve the quality of their lives through career technical and 
academic training.
  By graduating from the Job Corps, these young men and women have 
proven that they have skills and determination to succeed and be 
valuable contributors to communities throughout Texas and the country.
  On behalf of the people of the 29th Congressional District of Texas, 
I would like to congratulate the 2015 Job Corps graduates of all four 
centers in our state--David L. Carrasco Job Corps, Gary Job Corps, 
Laredo Job Corps, and North Texas Job Corps.
  I would also like to recognize the Texas Job Corps for their half 
century of success and say thank you for the service the Job Corps 
Program and its graduates have provided to Texas.

                          ____________________
