     TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF LA ASOCIACION DE CRONISTAS DE ARTE

  (Mr. ESPAILLAT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize La Asociacion 
de Cronistas de Arte, or AcroArte, and congratulate them on their 25th 
silver anniversary.
  AcroArte was founded in 1993 by Dominican journalists who specialize 
in arts and entertainment and has celebrated the best and brightest in 
music, theater, film, and more.
  Together, they established the Soberano Prize, which was first called 
the Casandra, which showcases and rewards the best of arts and culture 
in the Dominican Republic.
  This prestigious recognition has helped artists gain a foothold among 
the Dominican diaspora, sharing the Dominican identity, culture, and 
values around the world.
  As more generations of Dominican Americans share their talents with 
this world, I look forward to AcroArte lifting them up.
  It is a privilege to welcome AcroArte here to the U.S. Capitol, and I 
congratulate them on their 25 years of success.
