       HONORING THE MEMORY OF THE HONORABLE CARLOS ROMERO BARCELO

  (Miss GONZALEZ-COLON asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Miss GONZALEZ-COLON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory 
of a distinguished past Member of this House, the Honorable Carlos 
Romero Barcelo, also former Governor of Puerto Rico, who passed away on 
May 2, 2021.
  Congressman Romero Barcelo represented the people of Puerto Rico in 
this Congress from 1993 to 2001.
  He was not only a dear friend, but also a mentor whose tireless, 
lifelong devotion for the equality of all island residents inspired me 
to follow his footsteps.
  I ask that the House observe a moment of silence in his memory.
