         AMBASSADOR TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THE AMERICAN STATES

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MATT GAETZ

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 7, 2018

  Mr. GAETZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the appointment of 
my good friend, Florida State Representative Carlos Trujillo, to serve 
as the United States Ambassador to the Organization of the American 
States.
  In the Florida Legislature, Carlos serves as the Chair of the 
Appropriations Committee and Alternating Chair of the Joint Legislative 
Budget Committee where he executes his kind approach and strong 
leadership. I had the privilege to serve alongside Carlos in the 
Florida Legislature, and witnessed firsthand how his straightforward 
approach earned him respect from both sides of the aisle.
  I was pleased to hear of his recent appointment by President Trump as 
Ambassador to the Organization of the American States. I can assure you 
that he will do well in advancing the American principles of freedom 
and prosperity on the global stage. His background in law and his 
natural talent for negotiating ensure that for him, success is 
inevitable.
  Carlos is a family man, and his success is strongly supported by a 
strong, loving family consisting of his wife Carmen and his children 
Carlos Manuel, Isabella Alba, Juan Pablo, and Felipe Andres.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am privileged 
to congratulate Florida State Representative, and my friend, Carlos 
Trujillo on his appointment to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the 
Organization of the American States.
