     HONORING CESAR ALVAREZ, RECIPIENT OF THE NATIONAL SCOPUS AWARD

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Cesar Alvarez, 
a world-class lawyer and a pillar of our south Florida community.
  This fall, the American Friends of The Hebrew University is bestowing 
upon Cesar its highest honor, the National Scopus Award. Named for the 
mountain upon which the university is built, the Scopus Award honors 
those who are true humanitarians.
  Cesar has always shown impeccable leadership in both his professional 
and charitable endeavors, and his reputation for excellence is widely 
known. Through his law firm and so many charitable organizations, Cesar 
has had

a significant and positive impact upon south Florida. For many years, 
Cesar has worked to forge alliances between our local Jewish and Cuban 
American communities. So it's particularly befitting that these two 
communities have come together to honor him.
  Cesar, congratulations on this most recent of many recognitions. Your 
hard work and leadership are truly worth honoring and emulating.
