                        LOPEZ MEXICAN RESTAURANT

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I know the people watching back home can't 
see my tie, but this tie is a tribute to great Mexican food. It has 
tortilla chips, a bowl of queso, and jalapenos.
  Why do I have on this special tie? It is a tribute to a Fort Bend 
icon: Lopez Mexican Restaurant. The husband and wife to my left, 
Rodrigo and Bertha, started Lopez in 1979. They were joined by their 
kids: Jonathan, Jose, and Ana.
  Lopez was always full. We prayed a new one would open. Those prayers 
were answered last month. The second Lopez opened next to another 
Houston icon: Mattress Mack.
  For 40 years, the Lopez family has had one solemn promise: Every day, 
and for generations to come, the restaurant will focus on service, 
value, and cleanliness to ensure the guest always leaves satisfied.
  Those promises have been kept.
  ``Welcome to your new home,'' ``bienvenidos a su casa nueva.''
