                 CONGRATULATING CONSUL SERGIO AGUILERA

 Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the 
important service of Consul Sergio Aguilera upon his retirement from 
the Mexican Foreign Service.
  During his leadership of the Mexican Consulate in Indianapolis, my 
staff and I have enjoyed working closely with Consul Aguilera to 
strengthen the political, economic, social, and cultural ties between 
our two nations. By working closely with the Federal, State, and local 
governments, as well as schools, businesses, and community 
organizations, Consul Aguilera has ably represented the people of 
Mexico and served the needs of the Mexican community in the Midwest.
  In addition to his official duties, Consul Aguilera has given 
generously of his time in service to the Indianapolis community through 
work with the Mexican Scholarship Fund and the Central Indiana 
Community Foundation. The Indianapolis community will continue to 
benefit from Consul Aguilera's leadership as he seeks to expand his 
charitable work in retirement.
  I am especially pleased that Consul Aguilera and his wife Lori have 
chosen to remain in Indianapolis as they pursue new and exciting 
experiences together.
  I appreciate this opportunity to congratulate Consul Aguilera and 
wish him good health and success upon his retirement.
