                          HONORING CARL ROSEN

  (Mr. GARCIA of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Carl 
Rosen, one of the legendary architects of working-class power in 
Chicago.
  As president of the United Electrical Workers, Carl has always 
understood that power is never given. It is organized, disciplined, and 
won.
  From the shop floor to the ballot box, he has been instrumental in 
building real power for working-class communities. A master tactician 
and negotiator, he knows when to apply pressure, when to build 
alliances, and when to move decisively.
  From the Republic Windows fight to other moments that shaped 
Chicago's political order, Carl has been a steady

presence, helping working people secure monumental victories.
  I am proud to call Carl a friend and one of my closest and most 
trusted advisers. To some, he is a strategist, and to others, he is an 
organizer. I think he is a faithful interpreter of working-class power 
and a whisperer of the proletariat. To Carl, here is to our legacy 
years.
