  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Rey B. 
Gonzalez on his retirement after more than 30 years of service to the 
people of Chicago.
  As president and CEO of El Valor, Mr. Gonzalez dedicated his life's 
work to increasing opportunities for children, families, seniors, and 
persons with disabilities.
  Under Mr. Gonzalez's leadership, El Valor evolved into a nationally 
respected institution that has provided countless people with 
educational and employment opportunities within the community.
  Throughout his career, Rey has always demonstrated compassion, 
dignity, and a true commitment to helping others succeed. His 
contributions will not only be remembered but also appreciated for many 
years to come in our city.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Mr. Rey Gonzalez on a distinguished 
career and thank him for all of his hard work and dedication to our 
communities. I wish him a happy retirement.
