“I rise in support of H.R. 5026, a bill to designate the Food and Drug Administration, FDA, Building located at 466 Fernandez Juncos Avenue in San Juan, Puerto Rico as the Andres Toro Building. Andres Toro, a Federal employee who recently passed away, was highly regarded by his co-workers and members of the pharmaceutical industry in Puerto Rico. He was the Director of the Office of Investigations for the Food and Drug Administration in the Puerto Rico District. Andres Toro was a veteran of the Vietnam war and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, and the Vietnam Service Medal. After attending Catholic University in Puerto Rico he joined the FDA in San Juan in 1977. He was the recipient of the Secretary's award for Distinguished Service and the Outstanding Service Award. It is both fitting and proper to honor Andres Toro and his extraordinary public career with this designation. I support H.R. 5026 and urge my colleagues to join me in support of this bill.”
