                         Tuesday, June 11, 2019

  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate 
the fortieth anniversary of the Fred G. Acosta Job Corps Center in 
Tucson, Arizona. Over these past forty years, thousands of young people 
have benefited from the Fred G. Acosta Job Corps Center's comprehensive 
residential, academic and career technical training program.
  Each year, the Fred G. Acosta Job Corps Center serves hundreds of 
young adults by providing a career in technical education and a path to 
a high school diploma. Furthermore, the center provides social skills 
training and other services to empower young men and women to start a 
career, enroll in advanced training, enroll in college, or enter the 
Armed Forces. I am specifically grateful for the Center's 
accomplishments in breaking the cycle of poverty, strengthening local 
communities, improving the quality of life of thousands, and for its 
continued contributions in educating and training the youth of 
Arizona's 3rd District. For these reasons, I move that the United 
States House of Representatives celebrate the Fred G. Acosta Job Corps 
Center today, on Fred G. Acosta Job Corps Center Day which is 
celebrated in July 10th.
