                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 12, 2011

  Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
career and accomplishments of Mr. Alberto Carrillo, Sr. a dedicated 
employee of the Office of Human Relations of Santa Clara County.
  Prior to our election to the House of Representatives, I served 14 
years on the Board of Supervisors for the County of Santa Clara and so 
I am well aware of the important work done by the County's Office of 
Human Relations. They work diligently with our extremely diverse 
community to build positive inter-group relations, to eliminate 
prejudice and discrimination and to foster the peaceful resolution of 
conflict.
  Alberto has worked tirelessly advocating for civil and human rights 
in our community. Both with the County and in his capacity as a 
community activist and volunteer, he has worked toward building 
opportunities in housing, employment, education, business and 
government for Santa Clara County's diverse community.
  His experiences outside of the County speak to his dedication. He 
began his career with the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce, held 
leadership positions in the Mexican-American Political Association, and 
has served on many non-profit boards of directors and advisory boards.
  The Congress wishes Mr. Carrillo the very best as he continues this 
new chapter in his life in retirement.
