                  CELEBRATING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month is about recognizing 
the countless contributions of Latinos across the Nation.
  We celebrate the Latino entrepreneurs who have built thriving 
businesses, the doctors and nurses who provide essential healthcare, 
the teachers who inspire future generations, and the activists who 
tirelessly advocate for justice and equality.
  As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month, let us all commit to fostering 
an inclusive society where everyone, regardless of their background, 
can thrive and contribute to the American Dream.
  Let's embrace the diversity that makes our Nation stronger and more 
vibrant and continue celebrating our heritage that enriches us all. 
Let's put diversity over hate, people over politics.
  ``Yes, we can. Long live the people''; ``Si se puede y que viva la 
gente.''
