                  RECOGNIZING SAVE DURING PRIDE MONTH

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, as we celebrate Pride Month, I would 
like to congratulate SAVE, S-A-V-E, an organization in my congressional 
district that works around the clock to promote, protect, and defend 
LGBTQ equality.
  For many years, I have been proud to partner with SAVE to create 
much-needed public understanding of gender identity and, hence, foster 
an even more inclusive south Florida community.
  This Friday, June 8, this wonderful organization will host its 25th 
anniversary gala, where it will honor the 2018 equality champions: 
Miami Beach Police Chief Daniel Oates and the head of business 
operations of our very own Miami Heat, Eric Woolworth.
  It is because of groups like SAVE, champions like Daniel and Eric, 
and committed individuals throughout our communities that we will 
guarantee that our American values of freedom and opportunity are 
shared by all.
  So, thank you, Daniel and Eric; and thank you to my pal and SAVE's 
Executive Director, Tony Lima, and to the entire SAVE team for all that 
you do to promote LGBTQ inclusion and make our slice of paradise in 
south Florida an even better place in which to live.
