              HONORING THE LIFE OF FEDERICO CASTELAN SAYRE

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life and legacy of 
my very good friend, Federico Castelan Sayre, a lifelong activist and 
an accomplished trial attorney whose commitment to justice and public 
service is second to none.
  From an early age, Federico dedicated his life to serving our 
community. He organized demonstrations against the Vietnam war and 
helped establish free clinics throughout California. Despite being 
arrested, beaten, and intimidated, his courage never wavered.
  As a trial attorney, Federico carried that same courage into the 
courtroom, trying more than 200 cases to verdict. He also provided free 
legal services to United Farm Workers of California. He fought for 
victims of civil rights all over.
  As a proud Mexican American, Federico devoted himself to advancing 
opportunities and improving conditions for all.
  I thank Federico, my good friend, for his good work. He is not 
forgotten, and we will see him soon.
