  Mr. GARCIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer Mr. Wayne Billie my 
best wishes on his 66th birthday.
  Throughout his life, Wayne has been a strong, dedicated leader who 
has made significant contributions to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians 
and the State of Florida.
  As a judge of the Miccosukee tribal court, Wayne Billie led a 
distinguished career committed to upholding justice. Through his work 
to protect the Everglades, Wayne has helped to protect and preserve one 
of our country's national treasures for future generations.
  As a tribal elder of the Miccosukee tribe, Wayne has continued to 
demonstrate the same love of community and commitment to public service 
that has defined his life.
  Wayne is truly deserving of our greatest respect and admiration. 
Again, I offer him my best wishes on his birthday
