                       RECOGNIZING FRANK HERHOLD

  (Mr. KLEIN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KLEIN of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of 
the great leaders in my district in South Florida--Frank Herhold.
  Frank is the executive director of the Marine Industries Association 
of South Florida, a position he has held since 1990. Even before taking 
on this leadership role, Frank operated a shipyard of his own, bringing 
his total career in the marine industry to over 30 years. After decades 
of hard work, Frank will be retiring this summer. I would personally 
like to thank him for his hard work and dedication to our community.
  The marine industry is critical to South Florida's economy, and, 
under Frank's leadership, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 
has become the world's largest, pumping millions of dollars into our 
local economy.
  Frank is the consummate professional and friend, and it was a 
pleasure to work with him as we reformed Longshore insurance together 
and tackled other issues essential to the marine industry.
  Frank, I wish you the best in your retirement, and thank you for your 
service to South Florida.
