                        HONORING ALFONSO OBREGON

  (Mr. CUELLAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of an outstanding citizen of Pearsall, Texas, for his 
educational contributions to the community.
  Mr. Alfonso Obregon recently retired as a public school 
superintendent with 30 years of experience. He retires with an 
exceptional background, having earned a bachelor's degree in education 
and a master's degree in education administration. Mr. Obregon has 
dedicated 38 years to education, including 30 years as an accomplished 
superintendent. He started off in the 1970s teaching elementary and 
junior high school. He was promoted to superintendent for the Dilley 
Independent School District. From there he went to Progreso Independent 
School District, Asherton Independent School District and recently 
retired from the Charlotte Independent School District.
  Throughout his career, he has been one who has served the public and 
has taught our children the difference between right and wrong.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to have time to recognize Mr. Alfonso 
Obregon, a great educator for south Texas.
