                        HONORING HUMBERTO LOPEZ

  (Mr. BIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate my 
friend, Humberto Lopez, for receiving the Arizona Lodging & Tourism 
Association's Hotelier of the Year Award this past May.
  Humberto Lopez rose from humble roots and is the true definition of 
the American Dream. He provided for his family as a young boy after his 
father passed away, worked diligently in college at the University of 
Arizona, and became a CPA.
  In 1975, he founded HSL Properties, Inc. and Arizona's tourism 
industry owes him its thanks for bringing excellence in hospitality and 
service to the outstanding hotels he manages.
  More importantly though, Humberto Lopez created the H.S. Lopez Family 
Foundation, which works to improve the quality of life for communities 
and families across southern Arizona through education, health, and 
welfare. Humberto Lopez's work to provide for Arizona and those in need 
is a testament to the success of the American Dream and the character 
we need in our citizens.
