  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Cochise Cash. 
For many years now, Mr. Cash has been a leader in our Fort Worth 
community. He is a groundbreaking journalist, being one of the first 
African Americans to work as a television reporter in the Dallas/Fort 
Worth market. He has also given an enormous amount of his time to 
various charitable and community activities.
  In recognition of his dedication to his fellow citizens, this past 
September Cochise Cash was elected as President of the prestigious 
Southside Optimist Club of Fort Worth. Mr. Cash is the first African 
American president in the club's history.
  This is a high compliment to Cochise Cash and a fitting recognition 
of his many years of good work. Your family and friends must be proud 
of you. Mr. Cash, I'd like to thank you on behalf of all of my 
constituents, good luck in the future.
