I rise today to recognize the late Joseph F. Unanue for his extraordinary contributions to the Hispanic Community and for the strides he made for Hispanic businesses.

Mr. Unanue was critical in introducing the art and flavor of traditional Hispanic dishes into American homes.

Mr. Unanue's contributions went beyond the kitchen and the boardroom and into the realm of art.

Mr. Unanue's leadership and dedication to promote and support both the Hispanic community and Hispanic business is his legacy.

There is no Social Security crisis. But if Democrats and Republicans get their way and privatize the system, there will be.

I ask my colleagues to join with me in commending the Women's Resource Center for its leadership and commitment to restoring the fundamental right to live free from fear in our own homes.

I rise today to recognize the Women's Resource Center of Lackawanna and Susquehanna Counties in Pennsylvania for providing more than 20 years of shelter and counseling to adults and children who have been victims of violence at the hands…

Ben should be extremely proud to have been singled out from such a large group of dedicated volunteers.

His actions show that young Americans can--and do--play important roles in our communities, and that America's community spirit continues to hold tremendous promise for the future.

Young volunteers like Ben are inspiring examples to all of us, and are among our brightest hope for a better tomorrow.

In light of numerous statistics that indicate Americans today are less involved in their communities than they once were, I believe it's vital that we encourage and support the kind of selfless contribution this young citizen has made.

I rise today to congratulate and honor a young South Carolinian from my district who has achieved national recognition for exemplary volunteer service in his community.

All of us in Cincinnati are proud of his accomplishments and are grateful for his service to others.

He was selected based on his community service, business and civic accomplishments, awareness of the needs of others, and achievements that have brought favorable attention to the Cincinnati area.

He is a modern day Audubon who is both an internationally known wildlife artist and a committed naturalist.
