                CONGRATULATING U.S. CONSULATE IN BERMUDA

  (Ms. WATSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. WATSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Consulate General 
of the United States in Bermuda on their events to celebrate the 231st 
anniversary of American independence, of which G.K. Butterfield and 
myself acted as cosponsors.
  The American Society of Bermuda and the United States Consulate 
skillfully joined together in such an exemplary manner that it deserves 
to be noted here in Congress. These events are powerful examples of how 
we can partner with our host countries around the world to the benefit 
of America's sound principles and democratic values.
  At a time when we need the strongest promotion of what is truly the 
American way, the staff of the United States Consulate General in 
Bermuda provided the activities and the outreach that immediately 
impacted on all those present and portrayed the richness of our 
American philanthropy and caring.
