    RECOGNIZING THE VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE ON ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY

  (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 rise today in celebration of the 
25th anniversary of one of Florida's most beautiful communities, the 
Village of Key Biscayne.
  Incorporated in 1991, this majestic barrier island paradise is 
located between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay and is centered 
between two beautiful parks to the north and the south.

  Although small in size, the Village of Key Biscayne is a proud, 
tight-knit community of islanders filled with a mix of longtime locals, 
business leaders, professionals, as well as international visitors and 
residents.
  In celebration of its founding, the city and its residents, or key 
rats as they like to call themselves, will join together this Saturday, 
September 24, for the anniversary gala.
  I am truly honored to represent this south Florida treasure, and ask 
my congressional colleagues to join me in congratulating the Village of 
Key Biscayne residents on this momentous occasion. The Village of Key 
Biscayne, island paradise, indeed.
