                      TRIBUTE TO MR. ELOY AGUILAR

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CHARLES A. GONZALEZ

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 27, 1999

  Mr. GONZALEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the great public 
service career of one San Antonian. Over the past 25 years, Mr. Eloy 
Aguilar has served the constituents of the 20th district of Texas as 
district director for my predecessor and father, Henry B. Gonzalez.
  Twenty-five years ago, Eloy began his career of service and over the 
years he has shown great dedication and commitment to the constituents 
of the 20th district and all the people of San Antonio. There have been 
countless changes since he began his career in 1974, but the one thing 
that has not changed is Eloy's dedication. He has devoted many hours, 
evenings and weekends to the work of the people. Though he had served 
the community of San Antonio for a quarter of a century and was ready 
for retirement, Eloy continued his role as district director for me 
during the transition from my father's lengthy term through the first 
months of my own.
  In just a few days, Eloy will enter retirement. I take this 
opportunity to thank him for his tireless service to the constituents 
of the 20th district and to the Gonzalez family. His presence will be 
greatly missed. Eloy, we wish you all the best.
