                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 20, 2006

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize 
Chief Petty Officer Phillip P. White's retirement on September 1, 2006, 
from the U.S. Navy. Chief White proudly held the line among the brave 
sailors of the U.S. Navy for more than two decades.
  On a daily basis he diligently worked for the betterment of the 
Florida Gulf Coast region. While an active duty sailor he participated 
in naval operations that assisted in locating and identifying numerous 
historic shipwrecks in the Pensacola Bay area. In the wake of the 
tragic hurricanes of last year, Chief White valiantly returned to 
active duty status to lend his brawn to the recovery effort.
  On behalf of a grateful nation, I extend my deep appreciation to 
Phillip Paul White for his service to Florida and our country. My best 
wishes on a happy retirement, and continued success, Chief.
