Mr. HERNANDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Ramon Luis Rivera on his remarkable 96th birthday.

Ramon Luis was the transformative mayor of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, from 1976 to 2000. A member of my opposition party, he won the hearts of voters across party lines as he led his city for nearly three decades.

I offer my congratulations to the mayor.

Mr. Speaker, I will speak in Spanish very briefly, for ease of my constituents.

(Spanish translation of the statement made in English is as follows:)
