                HONORING U.S. AMBASSADOR LINO GUTIERREZ

  (Mr. CASTRO of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life 
and accomplishments of U.S. Ambassador Lino Gutierrez.
  Lino honorably worked at the Department of State for almost 40 years, 
serving as the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary and Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs.
  He valiantly carried the flag abroad as the U.S. Ambassador to 
Nicaragua and Argentina and served as a high-level adviser in the 
National War College.
  Even after his retirement, he found other ways to serve our community 
and give back to his community. He led the Una Chapman Cox Foundation 
and was a professor at George Washington and Johns Hopkins 
Universities.
  I know it brought him great joy to mentor the next generation of 
foreign affairs professionals, particularly emerging leaders from the 
Latino community. Lino nobly represented U.S. economic and social 
interests. He defended our national security and rallied support for 
the United States.
  He was good neighbor, a model citizen, a loyal friend, and a loving 
husband and father. Our Nation owes him a debt of gratitude.
