                      RECOGNIZING CHIEF ROD ELLIS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
retirement of Police Chief Rod Ellis, a man deeply committed to public 
safety and national security. He has proudly served Georgia's First 
District and his country in vital security roles.
  During his 36 years of service, Chief Ellis served with the Glynn 
County Police, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law 
Enforcement Division, Homeland Security, and several other law 
enforcement entities.
  In 2013, Chief Ellis was chosen to travel to Israel to network and 
train with Israeli Police and Security Services to identify and stop 
terrorists. The knowledge he learned in Israel and security 
publications he has contributed to about counterterrorism have 
significantly reinforced not just Georgia's security but the United 
States as a whole.
  I praise Chief Ellis for his service to the First District and to the 
American people, and I hope he enjoys this well-earned retirement.
