  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to commend 
Costilla County Commissioner Floyd E. Espinoza on his contributions to 
his community. The Honorable Mr. Espinoza has served Costilla County 
since 1994 and has fought hard to increase the tax base in his area. 
December will conclude Mr. Espinoza's six-year service as County 
Commissioner.
  Mr. Espinoza spent over three decades in the Federal Government 
before moving to elected office. These thirty some years were spent in 
the Air Force and United States Department of Interior. Mr. Espinoza's 
contributions and leadership to Costilla County have made it a better 
place for all of its citizens to live.
  Mr. Espinoza has served his community in outstanding fashion and I 
wish him the best in his future endeavors.
  Floyd, your community, State, and Nation are proud of you and we're 
grateful for your service.
