                       Wednesday, March 21, 2001

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity 
to recognize Luis David and Nenita Rodriguez's emerald wedding 
anniversary on March 9th.
  They were married in 1946 at Our Lady of Mercedes Church in Havana, 
Cuba and have worked together to raise a family, accomplish careers, 
and now enjoy all the rewards of their labors together.
  They have been blessed with one son, Luis David II, and two 
grandchildren, Luis David III and Luisa Margarita, who fill their lives 
with joy.
  Mr. Rodriguez attributes the success of his marriage to his wife, who 
has always supported him in decisions impacting their lives, encouraged 
him to reach goals he aimed for, and is steadfast in her devotion to 
her family. Because a successful marriage is a joint effort, both Mr. 
and Mrs. Rodriguez have contributed as much to reach this joyous 
celebration.
  I want to join their family and friends in congratulating them on 
their emerald wedding anniversary and sincere wishes for many more 
anniversaries.
