             HONORING GEORGE TORRES AND URSULA CRUZ-GREENE

  (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, today, I honor George Torres and Ursula 
Cruz-Greene from Bronx Community Board 12 which serves the north Bronx 
neighborhoods including Wakefield and Edenwald in the 16th 
Congressional District. My friend, Ritchie Torres, represents other 
neighborhoods in this area.
  George Torres is the district manager of Community Board 12. Born and 
raised in the Bronx, his parents still live in the Parkchester home 
that he grew up in.
  After serving in several roles in the Bronx for city and State 
officials, including Jose Serrano and Mayor Bloomberg, George joined 
Community Board 12 in 2015. His experience makes him a tremendous 
liaison for public officials and community leaders in the Bronx.
  Ursula Cruz-Greene is the community coordinator and has been with 
Community Board 12 since 1995. She started as a temporary employee, and 
her hard work paid off. She became a permanent employee 6 months later. 
Ursula's dedication to the community is clear to anyone who knows her.
  Mr. Speaker, our community is lucky to have such dedicated public 
servants like Ursula and George.
