                        Friday, January 5, 2024

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge the exemplary 
career of Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Jose Angel Moreno, a 
distinguished 32-year veteran of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the 
Southern District of Texas.
  Immigrating to Laredo at the age of 7, AUSA Moreno's journey to legal 
prominence began with his education at local schools in the area. 
Following his graduation from Martin High School, he served two years 
on active duty in the United States Marine Corps.
  Returning to Laredo, he continued his education by graduating from 
Laredo Junior College (now Laredo College) and Laredo State University 
(now TAMIU). AUSA Moreno went on to obtain his J.D. from the University 
of Texas School of Law in Austin.
  AUSA Moreno has been an integral part of the U.S. Attorney's Office 
for the Southern District of Texas since he joined in 1991, 
demonstrating an unwavering commitment to justice. Over the course of 
his tenure, he has prosecuted multi-defendant cases spanning every 
division in the district. His expertise extends across a broad spectrum 
of federal crimes, including immigration, narcotics, firearms, violent 
crime, fraud, and public corruption. Notably, AUSA Moreno achieved a 
significant milestone in 1993 when he secured the first drug kingpin 
prosecution in the district.
  His extensive experience showcases not only his legal acumen but also 
his dedication to public service. AUSA Jose Angel Moreno stands as a 
testament to the pursuit of justice and the embodiment of the highest 
ideals of the legal profession. I commend him for his remarkable career 
and service to the Southern

District of Texas, and I wish him the best in his well-earned 
retirement.
