              MARKING FIRST 200 DAYS AS MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  (Mr. CISNEROS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CISNEROS. Mr. Speaker, this week marks 200 days into my first 
term as a Member of Congress. It has been an incredible honor to serve 
the residents of the 39th Congressional District in California.
  I am very proud of what we have accomplished so far in Congress, from 
the passage of three of my pieces of bipartisan legislation this week, 
which will expand access to benefits for veterans, servicemembers, and 
their families; to the 32 amendments my colleagues and I have offered 
that were agreed to on a bipartisan basis; and the three bipartisan 
bills that I had the honor of supporting that have been signed into law 
by the President.
  I am most proud of our constituent services in the district. In just 
200 days in office, we have retrieved over $190,000 from Federal 
agencies for our constituents and worked on over 250 cases.
  I work for the people of my district. It is why I have attended 
hundreds of local events and met with thousands of my constituents.
  I look forward to the next 100 days and beyond, working for the 
people; bringing change to Washington, DC; and ensuring I give my 
constituents the representation they deserve.
