  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the contributions of 
City Attorney Charles E. Zech.

handles all aspects of municipal representation for the city of New 
Braunfels by providing representation and legal advice to the City 
Council, city employees, and 27 boards and commissions.
  Before graduating from Southwest Texas State University with a 
bachelor of business administration in economics and finance, Mr. Zech 
was a member of the United States Navy. He went on to receive his law 
degree from St. Mary's University School of Law. Attorney Zech is 
licensed to practice in all county and district courts of Texas, the 
Texas Supreme Court, and the United States District Court.
  He is a member of the Texas Bar Association, the San Antonio Bar 
Association, the Comal County Bar Association, and the Phi Alpha Delta 
International Legal Fraternity.
  As an active member of the Board of Directors of the Texas City 
Attorney's Association and the chair of the ethics section of the 
International Municipal Lawyers Association, it is obvious that Mr. 
Zech plays an active role in the legal community.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have this opportunity to recognize New 
Braunfels City Attorney Charles Zech for his dedication and 
contributions to the community and his service to our Country.
