                        HONORING AMOS ROJAS, JR.

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, Amos Rojas, Jr., was sworn in 
yesterday as the U.S. Marshal for our southern district of Florida.
  A consummate public servant, Marshal Rojas served 24 years of his 
career with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, including 8 
years as a special agent in charge of the Miami region's operations 
center.
  Marshal Rojas was most recently deputy director of the South Florida 
Money Laundering Strike Force within the Miami-Dade County State 
Attorney's Office.
  The U.S. Marshal Service traces its roots back to the Judiciary Act 
of 1789 under President George Washington and has played many important 
roles throughout our Nation's history.
  I am proud to see Marshal Rojas join this elite and storied law 
enforcement agency.
  Congratulations, again, to south Florida's new top cop.
