Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Society of\nHispanic Professional Engineers as it hosted the 15th Annual Eastern\nTechnical and Career Conference (ETCC), which was held November 1-3,\n2002, at the Sheraton Meadowlands Hotel in East Rutherford, New Jersey.\n  Despite the many advancements made by Hispanics in the fields of\nengineering and science, we must continue to ensure equality in the\nwork force for all Americans. The ETCC has made this its focus and,\nsince 1987, has been promoting academic excellence, professional\ngrowth, technical opportunities, and the development of ties and\nconnections among Hispanic professionals. These valuable networking\nopportunities for students and professionals are necessary to promote\nand provide for a more just work environment.\n  The second largest Hispanic student engineering conference in the\nnation, the ETCC attracts over 50 universities along the East Coast.\nThis year, the ETCC is expecting 1,200 Latino college students majoring\nin math, science, and engineering, and 300 professionals and corporate\nrepresentatives from Fortune 500 companies to attend.\n  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the 15th Annual\nEastern Technical and Career Conference hosted by the Society of\nHispanic Professional Engineers. New Jersey is fortunate to have\norganizations that provide opportunities for students and professionals\nto explore what being Hispanic and being a professional can mean. My\nbest wishes for a successful conference.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2002-11-22-pt1-PgE2121-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 68.96802794653922, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
