                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 13, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the distinguished 
public service of Pearsall City Councilman Conrad D. Carrasco, Jr.
  Conrad Carrasco has long been an established part of Frio County's 
legal community. He entered public service in 1980, and served as 
Justice of the Peace for Precinct No. 3 through 1990. The Justice of 
the Peace is the judicial officer who works most closely with average 
citizens, and Mr. Carrasco's duties included the issuance of warrants 
and the settlement of small claims disputes between citizens. In this 
role, as in his other roles, Conrad Carrasco served the people of Frio 
County with distinction.
  He was elected to the City Council of Pearsall in May 2000. Mr. 
Carrasco has worked while on the council to safeguard Frio County's 
natural beauty and to ensure that the city is run in an accountable and 
effective manner. He serves in Place No. 3 on the council, for a term 
that extends through May 2006.
  Finally, he has distinguished himself as a businessman. He has been 
employed with KBJ's Loan Company since 1995, and continues to be a 
valuable part of his community's financial sector.
  Conrad Carrasco has accumulated an impressive record of success in 
business and service to the people of Frio County. He is an important 
resource for his community, and I am proud to have had this opportunity 
to thank him.
