  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 50th wedding 
anniversary of Goyo and Consuelo Lopez. This is a monumental event.
  Mr. and Mrs. Lopez met as students playing in the Longhorn Band at 
University of Texas at Austin. Mr. Lopez had a successful career 
working for the weekly newspaper, ``The South Texas Citizen.'' Mrs. 
Lopez began work as a music teacher in 1966 due to her love of music, 
and is now currently retired from teaching after a 41-year career. They 
have five children: Armando, Steven, Michael, Goyo, and Cynthia.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to have had the opportunity to recognize 
the dedication and great love that Goyo and Consuelo have shown for 
each other in their 50 years of marriage. I ask you to join me in 
honoring them on the celebration of their wedding anniversary and wish 
them health and happiness for years to come.
