                CELEBRATING MORTON COLLEGE'S CENTENNIAL

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Garcia) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate Morton 
College, the second oldest community college in Illinois, on its 100th 
anniversary.
  Located in Cicero, Illinois, since 1973, Morton College is the pride 
of the community. The campus has an award-winning library, a student 
success center, and facilities equipped with state-of-the-art 
technology for the more than 3,500 students enrolled in it.
  As a Hispanic-serving institution, Morton has remained true to its 
mission of enhancing the quality of life of a diverse community through 
exemplary teaching and learning opportunities, community service, and 
lifelong learning.
  I am honored to have an exemplary institution in my district, and I 
congratulate the Morton College community. Here is to the next 100 
years.


                          Honoring Jorge Ramos

  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the legendary 
journalist, Jorge Ramos, as he steps down after 40 remarkable years at 
Univision.
  Jorge has been a beacon of truth and integrity, a voice for the 
voiceless, and a relentless advocate for justice for the Latino 
community.
  In a world often dominated by sensationalism, he stood as a pillar of 
credibility, amplifying stories that might otherwise remain unheard. 
From covering the struggles of immigrants to challenging those in 
power, Jorge's work has illuminated issues that many in the media 
choose to ignore.
  His legacy is one of courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment 
to truth.
  ``Thank you, Jorge, for being a voice dedicated to justice and for 
keeping our community informed.'' ``Gracias, Jorge, por ser una voz 
dedicada a la justicia y por mantener informada a nuestra comunidad.''
