           CONGRATULATING A. MICHAEL HICKOX ON HIS RETIREMENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. De La Cruz). The Chair recognizes the 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bean) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
important contributions of A. Michael Hickox and his retirement as the 
property appraiser for Nassau County, Florida.
  For 12 years, Mike has been an amazing public servant, committed to 
fairness and customer service. Let's be honest, Madam Speaker, being a 
property appraiser is probably one of the toughest jobs around, but 
Mike has done it well, skillfully, and leaves the office in a much 
better place.
  While he was leading, Mike also served as the president of the 
Florida Association of Property Appraisers and then served on the 
boards of the Nassau Education Foundation and the Nassau County 
Economic Development Board.
  To put it simply, Madam Speaker, Mike has spent his career serving 
others. Mike may not be our property appraiser anymore, but I know he 
is not done. I can't wait to see what he does next.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you and our colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Mike on a job well done. Go get `em, Mike.
