                       Wednesday, November 8, 1995

  Mr. PASTOR. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Ms. Patricia V. 
Asip on receiving the National Hispanic Corporate Council's [NHCC] 
Charter Award at the recent 10th anniversary dinner.
  Currently serving as the manager of the multicultural affairs at J.C. 
Penny Co., Inc., Ms. Asip was a founding board member of the NHCC. As 
the first marketer to join the NHCC, she has spent her professional 
career showing the American business community the value of the 
Hispanic market. A leader in the Hispanic community, her desire and 
efforts in reaching out to the Hispanic market show her to be a truly 
admirable woman. I would like to commend her on her achievements, and I 
ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing this remarkable woman.
