                       HONORING DANIEL SANTA CRUZ

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank a member of my staff 
on the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs for his invaluable service 
to our Nation's veterans, this Congress, and our country.
  Daniel Santa Cruz joined our committee in 2020 as our digital 
director. From the outset, he demonstrated an outstanding technical 
ability and tremendous creative vision. He proved instrumental in 
helping the committee meet the new digital demands of the COVID-19 
pandemic; developed, produced, and directed thousands of hours of 
compelling video content; created graphical representations of our work 
for social media platforms; and captured powerful images of committee 
members hard at work for America's veterans across the world and in our 
Nation's Capital.
  His charm, humor, and generosity have been infectious, and his 
commitment to the work of this committee has been incredibly impactful.
  The work of my committee, this Congress, and our government to honor 
and support our veterans was made better by Daniel's service, and he 
will be deeply missed.
