  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
commend Ms. Venghan ``Winnie'' Tang, a dedicated community advocate 
with a powerful voice who has made significant contributions to South 
Florida and our country, and I include in the Record the following 
proclamation in her honor:

       Whereas, Ms. Tang is a deeply committed activist who has 
     devoted her professional career to promoting the interests 
     and well-being of the Asian Pacific American community;
       Whereas, Ms. Tang has enriched the lives of countless South 
     Floridians by administering after-school tutoring programs, 
     encouraging voter registration and census participation, and 
     advocating for immigration reform, legal and civil rights, 
     homeless reform, healthcare, and women's affairs;
       Whereas, Ms. Tang was the first Asian American to serve on 
     the Miami-Dade County Democratic Executive Committee, and has 
     organized voter registration drives and ``Get Out the Vote'' 
     campaigns in the Asian community;
       Whereas, Ms. Tang's excellence in leadership, advocacy, 
     non-profit work, and community service has been recognized by 
     various organizations through awards, accomplishments, and 
     appointments, including chairing the Asian-American Steering 
     Committee, leading to the creation of the Asian-American 
     Advisory Board in Miami-Dade County, being the first Chinese 
     American woman to receive the Miami-Dade County Park & 
     Recreation Department's in the Company of Women Award in 
     2002, receiving the Florida Minority Reinvestment Community 
     Coalition's Minority Advocacy Award in 2006, and receiving 
     the Inaugural Honors Award Saluting South Florida's 21st 
     Century Educators by Miami Gardens Excellence in Education 
     Council (MGEEC) in 2013; and
       Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson, 
     a member of the United States House of Representatives, 
     representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida, 
     commend Ms. Venghan ``Winnie'' Tang for her years of 
     commitment and faithful service to our community.
