                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 23, 2008

  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend Mujes de 
Ecelencia, one of the most prominent women's organizations in my 
congressional district, for embarking upon a remarkable educational 
campaign outreach on health care issues to women in Roma, Texas. The 
informational campaign outreach, which finished on April 18, 2008, is a 
mixture of private-public partnerships with local businesses, 
organizations, and agencies that all strive to bring awareness to 
important issues that affect women and their families.
  Mujes de Ecelencia has consistently worked to provide the latest 
information about drug and alcohol treatment, family counseling, 
tobacco awareness, and other health care matters to women in south 
Texas since 2002. I applaud Mujes de Ecelencia for bringing together 
businesses, organizations, and local agencies in the informational 
campaign marketed towards women's health care issues, and for their 
continued work in advocating for women in south Texas.
