                     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.
