                        Tuesday, April 14, 2020

  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to celebrate the life of 
Frank J. Quevedo. Frank passed away on April 2, 2020, but leaves behind 
a rich legacy of many accomplishments and was an extraordinary role 
model to many.
  Frank was born on August 14, 1944 and received his Bachelor of Arts 
degree in political science from the University of California, 
Riverside.
  Throughout his career, Frank served as the chairman on the board of 
the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. He was also 
the chair of the Puente Project and co-chair of the Weingart East Los 
Angeles YMCA, and served on a number of other boards and advisory 
committees including the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, Asian 
Pacific American Legal Center, Edmund G. ``Pat'' Brown Institute of 
Public Affairs, Orange County Hispanic Education Endowment Fund, Latino 
Issues Forum, Cathedral High School Board of Trustees, White Memorial 
Medical Center Charitable Foundation, The Women's Foundation of 
California, Asian American Justice Center, and the WATTS Health 
Foundation. Frank was recognized by Hispanic Business Magazine on its 
annual ``100 Influential'' listing on four separate occasions.
  Frank was appointed to positions by President Nixon and Governor 
Jerry Brown, and was Chief of Staff to Commissioner Tony Gallegos at 
the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 1982 in the Reagan 
administration.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the extraordinary life of 
Frank J. Quevedo. May he rest in peace and may his legacy continue.
