                   PAYING TRIBUTE TO DAVID LEON LOYA

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to David 
Leon Loya. This is a young man who was full of life.
  David loved life and enjoyed something that many of us have 
participated in and that we see more Americans doing across the Nation, 
and that is bicycling. He was an avid bicyclist and enjoyed the 
outdoors in Houston, Texas.
  He was a young man with a future before him with a loving family.
  He was a young man that we want to pay tribute to because we know 
that he exhibited values of love and generosity, because of the 
community who came out to express their remorse and their sadness that 
he lost his life while bicycling.
  We understand, in tribute to him, recognizing that as the world 
changes, more Americans will be riding their bicycle. We want to make 
sure, in his name, that we have designed bicycle paths, that in the 
urban areas they cover streets in a lighted way so that vehicles can 
acknowledge those on bicycles and that they can be protected.
  David Leon Loya, we honor him and love him. In his name, Mr. Speaker, 
we will make these bicycle paths the best and the most safe, and he 
will not have died in vain.
  To his family, my deepest sympathy.
