  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
City of Gulf Breeze,

[[Page E1478]]

Florida upon the occasion of its 50th Anniversary.
  Located in Santa Rosa County, the City of Gulf Breeze shares a rich 
history and culture with the Florida Panhandle. Gulf Breeze forms part 
of the gateway to Pensacola Bay, where Don Tristan de Luna arrived in 
1559 to build American's First Settlement.
  Gulf Breeze first received its charter from the Florida Legislature 
in 1961. Today, the City has developed into a place where one can find 
peace and relaxation on its calm shores and whose natural beauty 
continues to withstand the test of time. Over 6,000 people call Gulf 
Breeze home, and countless thousands visit the City every year to see 
its world-class zoo and walk along the Naval Live Oaks portion of the 
Gulf Islands National Seashore.
  Recently, Gulf Breeze has become a focal point of the Florida 
business community, known for high-tech companies who share a 
commitment to the heritage of the City. Gulf Breeze is truly a gem of 
the Gulf Coast, and I am honored to represent its citizens.
  On behalf of the United States Congress, I congratulate the City of 
Gulf Breeze on its many accomplishments over the past 50 years. My wife 
Vicki joins me in offering our best wishes to the Mayor, Council, 
public servants, and citizens of Gulf Breeze for their continued 
prosperity.
