Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to recognize today my constituents. Tony Guedes and his daughter. Mayl De La Vega. who were recently featured In the Miami Herald for starting Intercontinental Metals. a successful Miami metals firm for aircraft makers. The article. "Metals Dealer Rides Success of Aircraft Makers" by Derek Reveron tells their story: By most standards. Tony Guedes was an immigrant success story. After coming to the United States from Cuba. he worked his way up the corporate ladder to become vice president of a metals company. He had made it. He was content. But his daughter wasnt. Mayi De La Vega was more ambitious for her father than he was for himself.
