            ANNOUNCING THE BIRTH OF JOAQUIN SANCHEZ SULLIVAN

  (Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, as the Chair of the 
California Democratic delegation, I yield to our colleague for a happy 
announcement.
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to 
announce that at 9:13 a.m. this morning I became an aunt. Linda 
Sanchez, one of our colleagues, of course, my sister, and her husband, 
Jim Sullivan, gave birth to a baby boy, 7 pounds, 14.6 ounces; and his 
name is Joaquin Esteban.
  And I would just add that both mother and child are doing great. I 
just spoke to my mom, who's in town; so we're pretty excited. Thank 
you.
