                          HONORING ALAN SLATER

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Alan Slater, whose 35 
years of leadership have strengthened the Orange County Superior Court 
and promoted justice.
  As superior court executive officer, Alan prioritized the well-being 
of those who are too often overlooked by the justice system.
  Under his direction, partnerships with community groups and leaders 
created a bona fide safety net of legal aid and social services, 
ensuring all residents were able to access due process.
  As a visionary in court technology, Alan pioneered statewide models 
that expanded access to restraining orders, improved officer safety, 
and advanced transparency through open access to court records.
  His service reflects a deep commitment to public accountability and 
through good service to all people.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to reflect on how local leaders like Alan 
Slater strengthen our institutions and protect the rights of those who 
are most in need.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Alan for his work.
