                  REMEMBERING TRINIDAD ``TRINI'' GARZA

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 
extraordinary life of Trinidad Garza, better known in our community as 
``Trini.''
  Trini was just a tremendous individual, a great person. I cannot say 
enough about this man. He loved trying to help kids when it came to 
education in the community. He was an incredible businessman. He served 
our country in the U.S. Navy. He did so much for the city of Dallas. I 
love the Oak Cliff neighborhood that he lived in.
  He was just such a tremendous leader. He was part of the city's first 
Mexican-American Leadership Conference.

He was also educated here in the north Texas area.
  He was the first Hispanic member of the board of trustees at one of 
our local colleges. He was also appointed as a regional director of the 
U.S. Department of Education under President Clinton.
  The life and legacy of Trini Garza just goes on and on and on. He is 
going to be deeply missed by so many because of everything he has done 
and accomplished. Everything that is going to be said about him and how 
it will be commemorated will be well deserved.
  Great job, Trini. Please rest in peace. My condolences to his entire 
family.
