                    JACINTO CITY'S 75TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I want to wish Jacinto City 
and community in my district a happy 75th anniversary. Jacinto City is 
a beloved community in our district full of hardworking Americans who 
contribute to our economy and work every day to build a country we 
love.
  In the 1940s the city became the meeting point for immigrant families 
who worked in shipyards, nearby steel mills, and war plants. These 
workers were here seeking the American Dream, a dream that became a 
reality thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of its immigrant 
community.
  This is inspiring, and it reminds us now more than ever that our 
workers play a vital role in empowering and transforming our country.
  Today, Jacinto City is a beacon of hope for the State's great economy 
and for our Nation. Its diverse community is led by a Latina mayor, Ana 
Diaz. It is an example of our country's social fabric and how our 
immigrants make us a stronger and more vibrant country.
  I couldn't be prouder to represent this great community, and I am 
thankful to the families for their hard work and their contributions to 
our country.
