                       HONORING DR. JUAN M. ORTIZ

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to wish a happy and 
healthy 90th birthday to Dr. Juan Ortiz.
  As one of the oldest full-time practicing M.D.'s in the U.S., Dr. 
Ortiz has provided exemplary care to his family, friends, and patients 
in our south Florida community. Dr. Ortiz has always shown impeccable 
leadership in both his professional and charitable endeavors, and his 
reputation for excellence is widely known.
  When he is not treating his patients locally, you will find Dr. Ortiz 
volunteering his medical services during catastrophes in remote 
locations throughout Central America, the Caribbean, and Africa.
  Not only is Dr. Ortiz a seasoned medical professional, but he is also 
a poet, a writer, and an avid traveler, with destinations extending as 
far as Antarctica.
  Dr. Ortiz, once again, I would like to express my appreciation for 
your contributions and your service to south Florida. I wish you a 
happy and healthy 90th birthday.
