For Rita, my wonderful wife; for my son Carlos, who served four years as a proud United States Marine; and for my daughter, Marie, a recent Texas A&M graduate, all of whom dream and seek to better the lives of people wherever they are.
Also, for Latinos everywhere and for all citizens of the United States, particularly Mexican Americans. May all people be persuaded that we need to work together to create a better world, especially for the less fortunate, who require help more than blame.

The U.S. Census for the year 2000 is sure to count more than 32 million Latinos out of a total population of 273 million Americans. Although Spanish-speaking Americans comprise one out of every nine citizens, Hispanics are seldom seen speaking for and representing our country in the cultural life of the United States.
