  Mr. FRANK. Mr. Speaker, I was delighted to be given a chance to send 
my congratulations to the winners of the Hispanic Recognition Awards 
which are going to be held on August 3 in North Dartmouth, 
Massachusetts. The Hispanic Recognition Awards Committee has assembled 
a very diverse and valuable group of individuals and institutions to 
receive well merited recognition for their work in helping preserve 
Latino culture and values in the framework of our national unity. I am 
delighted to have a chance to share with my colleagues the work of this 
important organization and I ask that the names of the award winners be 
printed here so that they may get the recognition to which they are 
entitled.
