                      CELEBRATING ERNESTO MENDOZA

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank and celebrate 
the 50th birthday and retirement of Ernesto Mendoza for his dedicated 
service to our community, to protect and to serve the people of Los 
Angeles.
  Ernesto served our great country in the United States Army overseas 
in Germany and then came home to serve in the Los Angeles Police 
Department, with a combined total of 30 years of service.
  He consistently operates with integrity and honesty and has 
established strong, trusted leadership, retiring as a detective III 
through various LAPD departments, including the 77th Division and, most 
recently, South Bureau.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Ernesto for all that he has done for our 
community, and I thank him for his service to our country. I hope 
Ernesto enjoys his 50th birthday with his family, and I wish him a 
joyful retirement.
