THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release March 3, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Throughout his distinguished career in the United States Congress, Representative Esteban Torres has dedicated himself to bettering the lives of his constituents and Hispanic Americans across the country. Representative Torres has shown true leadership in the area of civil rights and has stood steadfast in an effort to bring our country together amid all of our diversity to build a stronger community.

Congressman Torres has led efforts to provide people with the tools they need to make the most of their own lives. He has set the standard for excellence in public service and his retirement after over 15 years will be a loss felt across the country.
