     HONORING THE OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS OF JOSEPH A. SCOTT, JR.

  (Mr. CUELLAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the outstanding 
contributions of Joseph A. Scott, Jr., and to acknowledge a scholarship 
fund in his name recognizing his exceptional years of service to the 
people of San Antonio.
  Joe paved the way for others and became the first African American in 
San Antonio to become a licensed insurance agent. He then went on to 
found World Technical Services, providing jobs for the disabled and 
those conquering substance abuse. He most recently served as a 
cofounder of the New Covenant Baptist Church.
  Joe has also played an integral role in San Antonio politics, working 
closely with former President Lyndon B. Johnson, former mayor and HUD 
Secretary Henry Cisneros and the late Congressman Frank Tejeda.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have this opportunity to recognize the 
many accomplishments of Mr. Joseph A. Scott, Jr.
