  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay 
tribute to successful business owner Robert D. Escalante. Mr. Escalante 
is the owner of Custom Auto Service in my district. For decades the 
Packard Motor Car marketed some of America's most prestigious cars. 
Custom Auto Service specializes in rebuilding and selling Packard 
Automobiles. This year, Custom Auto Service and the Packard Automobile 
are celebrating their Golden Anniversary in Santa Ana, California; 50 
years of dedication to the ``American Dream'' car--the PACKARD. Custom 
Auto Service also recently entered into a public-private partnership 
with other businesses to help establish a four-block development zone 
nationally known as Fiesta Marketplace. Its purpose is to help nurture 
the surrounding community in Santa Ana.
  We give thanks to businesses like Custom Auto Service for doing their 
part to lift up our district. This small business is a reflection of 
what's in the heart of America and I thank Mr. Robert Escalante for his 
tremendous dedication.
