                  IN RECOGNITION OF WILLIAM HERNANDEZ

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President, I rise to recognize William 
Hernandez for his efforts as president of the Hispanic State Parade of 
New Jersey. His work has done a great deal for Hispanic-Americans, and 
it is an honor to acknowledge him today.
  As president of the Hispanic State Parade of New Jersey, Mr. 
Hernandez has been able to honor the accomplishments of many prominent 
Hispanic-Americans. For the last three years he has also served as the 
president of DesFile Hispanoacericano of New Jersey. During that time, 
he has worked to arrange the first international cultural and health 
fair, and create unity and cultural pride among Hispanic-Americans.
  Mr. Hernandez is an extremely talented and energetic individual. His 
work on behalf of Hispanic-Americans has been truly beneficial, and I 
am confident he will continue to work tirelessly for all Americans of 
Hispanic decent as well as all of society.
