  Ms. DelBENE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Gustavo 
Ramos, Jr., who will be retiring this month from his position as 
Executive Director for the Housing Authority of Skagit County.
  Mr. Gustavo Ramos, Jr., has dedicated a lifetime of hard work in the 
field of affordable housing and community development. With more than 
40 years of combined service within six different housing authorities 
since 1972, Gustavo has helped numerous families in Skagit County and 
throughout Washington State.
  Gustavo's hard work and dedication to the communities, families, and 
housing authority of Skagit County earns him a well-deserved and 
honorable retirement celebration. Upon retirement, Gustavo will be 
returning to Nevada to be near his family and begin a new chapter in 
his career in economic and community development.
  I would personally like to thank Gustavo for his many years of 
service and commitment to helping families. He has been a tremendous 
contributor to the Housing Authority in the Skagit County area and will 
be missed dearly.
