                        Tuesday, August 21, 2018

  Mr. HURD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Del Rio Hispanic 
Chamber of Commerce, a premiere resource for businesses and leading 
advocate of economic growth in the state of Texas.
  The Del Rio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has been a critical 
institution in the area since its founding in 2006. In just over 10 
years, the Del Rio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has supported a range 
of businesses in the border area. This Chamber of Commerce has 
established itself as a leader in strengthening and supporting small, 
minority and women-owned businesses and providing opportunities for 
business development and growth in the community.
  I applaud the extraordinary efforts of this Chamber of Commerce and 
congratulate them for their recognition as the Small Hispanic Chamber 
of the Year. The work of this institution resonates across Texas' 23rd 
Congressional District, and will undoubtedly continue to have a lasting 
positive impact across Texas and the United States.
