                 HONORING UCLA CHANCELLOR CHARLES YOUNG

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Correa) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life of UCLA 
Chancellor Charles Young, who passed away at the age of 91.
  For 29 years, Chancellor Young led UCLA, America's premier research 
institution. He transformed UCLA from a regional collegiate university 
to the powerhouse that it is today.
  He took over at UCLA at the age of 36, making him the youngest 
chancellor in University of California history. He was the first UCLA 
alumnus to hold that top position on campus. Under his leadership, 
UCLA's annual operating budget grew tenfold, to $1.7 billion, and 
undergraduate enrollment exploded.
  Chancellor Young was a staunch supporter of making higher education 
accessible to all. He championed diversity at the university and led 
UCLA through a very difficult social unrest period.
  We will forever remember Chancellor Young for his contribution to 
this country. Go Bruins.


                     Celebrating Enrique Hernandez

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of 
Enrique Hernandez, a beloved member of our Orange County community.
  Enrique was born in 1937 in Jalisco, Mexico. He worked as a 
construction laborer, specializing in concrete and asphalt. He was a 
man who took pride in his work. Enrique didn't know how to do less than 
his very best every day.
  Enrique loved watching lucha libre matches and telling stories about 
his time in Jalisco, Mexico, and the small ranch where he grew up.
  He also loved to talk about his love life. He was married to Edelmira 
for 65 years. Their legacy includes 7 children, 22 grandchildren, and 
15 great-grandchildren. Enrique's five siblings carry on his tradition 
of being great storytellers.
  We honor Enrique for his service to our community and to his 
beautiful family.
