                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Commending the Hispanic Heritage Foundation for recognizing the next 
 generation of Latino role models for their academic achievements and 
                           community service.

Whereas the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards were founded in 1998 by the Hispanic 
        Heritage Foundation to identify and promote the next generation of 
        Latino role models;
Whereas recipients of the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards are selected from among 
        graduating high school seniors on the basis of their academic 
        achievement, community service, and other factors in the following 
        categories: academic excellence, community service, education, 
        engineering and mathematics, health care, journalism, and sports;
Whereas recipients of the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards enter the LOFT (Latinos 
        on Fast Track) initiative and develop sustainable relationships with top 
        young professionals who provide the recipients with support and guidance 
        in becoming successful professionals;
Whereas nearly 40 percent of the entire Latino population is less than 18 years 
        of age;
Whereas it is in the national interest to identify and promote the next 
        generation of Latino leaders and role models by celebrating their 
        accomplishments in the classroom and community; and
Whereas the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards has recognized more than 1,000 young 
        leaders: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress commends the Hispanic Heritage Foundation for 
recognizing the next generation of Latino role models for their 
academic achievements and community service.
