achievements of Jaylin Simpson, who was drafted by the Indianapolis 
Colts. Jaylin was drafted in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL draft 
after 5 years of playing at the University of Auburn.
  Before attending Auburn, Jaylin graduated high school from Frederica 
Academy in the First District of Georgia. In his senior year at 
Frederica, Jaylin racked up 1,433 passing yards, 441 rushing yards, 22 
touchdowns, and 1 interception as Frederica's quarterback. He also made 
48 tackles and 4 interceptions while playing corner in a season that 
led to a GISA State Championship for Frederica.
  At Auburn, Jaylin played in 47 games, tallying 116 total tackles, 7 
interceptions, 14 pass breakups, and 4 tackles for a loss during his 
career.
  The Indianapolis Colts have no doubt just received an outstanding 
football player. I congratulate Jaylin. I know I speak for the whole 
First District when I say we are very proud of him.


                    FLETC Deputy Director Kai Munshi

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
career of Kai Munshi, who is retiring from his position as deputy 
director of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers.
  Deputy Director Munshi's law enforcement career began in August 2002 
as a U.S. Secret Service special agent. He helped conduct 
investigations related to issues such as counterfeit currency, bank 
fraud, and other financial crimes.
  Deputy Director Munshi also served in the Special Operations Division 
Counter Assault Team, where he led countless protective missions for 
the President of the United States and other dignitaries domestically 
and abroad.
  During his time as deputy director, he oversaw training for 125 
Federal partner organizations. He directed operations across all four 
of FLETC's training delivery points, leading FLETC's administrative, 
security, financial, mission support, and resource management programs.
  I thank Deputy Director Munshi for his years of dedicated service to 
this great country. I hope he enjoys his well-earned retirement.


                       Celebrating Jamari McIvory

  Mr. CARTER of GEORGIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
achievements of Savannah Christian's Jamari McIvory, who recently 
received the 71st annual Dearing Award.
  The Ashley Dearing Award, given annually to the area's most versatile 
male athlete for more than seven decades, was recently presented at 
Savannah Christian to Jamari, who consistently brings home hardware for 
his alma mater.
  He is the 10th Savannah Christian Raider to win the award in 71 
years, and he is currently signed to play football at Northern 
Illinois.
  Jamari is truly an all-star. Not only is he great at football, but he 
is a star on the basketball court. He is one of the greatest track 
athletes Georgians have seen in ages. He is the reigning State champion 
for both 200 and 400 meters for track. Jamari's record speaks for 
itself. He is a multisport star, and the First District could not be 
more proud of him.
  I congratulate Jamari. I know we will continue to see his success on 
the field for years to come.


               Recognizing Representative Lindsay Thomas

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a 
former United States House of Representatives Member from the great 
State of Georgia, Lindsay Thomas, for receiving the 2023 Rock Howard 
Conservation Achievement Award.
  The Rock Howard Conservation Achievement Award is given to those who 
are recognized as an environmental and natural resources leader, 
embodying the passion and success of Rock Howard, Georgia's first 
director of the Environmental Protection Division.
  It is only natural that Representative Thomas received this award. He 
was a champion of the outdoors and conservation during his 10 years in 
Congress. He cofounded the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus in 1989 to 
bring together Members of the House and Senate in a bipartisan effort 
to support America's hunting and fishing communities and Federal policy 
decisions.
  This bipartisan caucus has helped influence policy benefiting hunters 
and anglers, and it has inspired the creation of parallel caucuses in 
50 States and 36 Governors' offices.
  Again, I thank my good friend, Representative Thomas, for being a 
tireless supporter of sportsmen and our environment. I congratulate him 
on winning this prestigious award.
