  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Warden Ricardo 
Rios of Pekin, Illinois, who will be retiring from the Federal 
Correctional Institution in Pekin on April 30th.
  Warden Rios has spent 35 years serving communities across the country 
in his work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He began his public 
service career in 1988 as an Accountant Trainee in the Federal 
Correctional Institution in Bastrop, Texas. Over the next 30 years, 
Warden Rios held positions of increasing responsibility in Correctional 
Centers around the country, including California, Florida and 
Minnesota. In 2010, he took over as Warden at FCI-Pekin, where he has 
served for the last four years.
  Mr. Speaker, I'd like to thank Warden Ricardo Rios for his years of 
committed service and congratulate him again on his retirement.
