                        TRIBUTE TO MOISES VELEZ

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, I rise to commend Moises Velez of 
Macon, GA, for his years of service to Georgia's Latino community.
  Twenty-five years ago, Mr. Velez founded ``Que Pasa,'' the first 
Spanish newspaper in the Macon community. Mr. Velez's vision of keeping 
newly arrived immigrants informed about vital services available to 
them in Middle Georgia and across the State quickly transformed the 
newspaper into a trusted news source for the Latino community on 
important issues like health care, immigration, and education. ``Que 
Pasa'' keeps the growing Latino community in Middle Georgia informed 
about news and events statewide. Mr. Velez's success led to his 
recognition as one of Georgia's 50 most influential Latinos by the 
Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in 2022. Mr. Velez is a 
representation of the extraordinary contributions of Georgia's Latino 
community.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I commend and recognize Moises Velez for 
his contributions to Georgia's Latino community and years of service to 
the Macon community.
