HONORING JOSE ``PEDO'' TERLAJE
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Guam
(Mr. Moylan) for 5 minutes.
Mr. MOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, I take this time to honor the late and great
Jose ``Pedo'' Terlaje who left this world recently.
A proud son of Guam, Pedo was a husband, a father, and a grandfather.
He was also an uncle, a nino, and a primo to many.
Pedo proudly served his Nation in uniform, protected his island as a
police officer, and represented his community as the mayor of Yona.
I was honored to serve with him in the 35th and 36th Guam legislature
where as a Senator he tirelessly advocated for the perpetuation of
Guam's culture, for veterans, for law enforcement officers, and most
importantly, for the people of Guam.
I stand here today in the Halls of this historic building to not only
recognize and commend Senator Jose ``Pedo'' Terlaje for his many
contributions to the country and to our beautiful island of Guam, but
also to express the Nation's deepest condolences to his wife, Flo, and
to his family.
Rest in peace, Primo, until we meet again.
