  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize State Representative 
Patrick M. Rose for a lifetime of distinguished public service.
  State Representative Patrick Rose is serving his second term as a 
member of the Texas House of Representatives and currently holds the 
position of Vice Chair of the House Committee on Civil Practices and is 
also a member of the Higher Education Committee and the Calendars 
committee.
  He represents the House 45th district which covers Blanco, Caldwell 
and Hay's Counties. He is working on various state issues such as 
insurance reform, ethics reform and the public education system. He is 
a member of the higher Education Committee and works closely with Texas 
State University on issues such as college affordability and creating 
scholarships.
  His efforts on behalf of his constituents were recognized when he was 
featured in Texas Monthly as ``Rookie of the Year'' during his freshman 
session. He was also honored with the ``2003 Civil Justice Leadership 
Award,'' the ``Texas Medicine's Best'' and the ``Young Professional of 
the Year Award.'' Patrick Rose is a credit to his community and a 
tremendous resource to his county.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have had this opportunity to recognize 
the many achievements of State Representative Patrick Rose.
