  Mr. HURD of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 101st 
birthday of Mrs. Librada Payan of El Paso, Texas.
   A beloved mother of 7 children, 30 grandchildren, 15 great 
grandchildren, and several more great-great grandchildren, Mrs. Payan 
is known for her cheerful outlook and devotion to her beloved family.
   Mrs. Payan was born in 1915, and moved to the El Paso area in 1918. 
She was happily married to the love of her life for over 65 years. She 
never ceases to be amazed at the changes of the world around her, and 
greets each day with an enthusiasm that eludes even the most optimistic 
of people.
   On behalf of the Twenty-Third Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to Librada Payan on turning 101 years old, and may she 
celebrate many more.
