  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Ms. 
Sonya Daniel upon receiving the Crisis Communicator of the Year Award 
from the Pensacola chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association.
  In her role as the Public Information Officer for Escambia County, 
Ms. Sonya Daniel is responsible for disseminating vital information to 
the public during times of crisis. During tropical storms and 
hurricanes Ms. Daniel has remained calm and levelheaded. Amidst panic, 
she effectively relayed important information to residents of Escambia 
County on how to prepare and respond to crises. She was recognized by 
the Florida Public Relations Association for her streamline approach to 
communicating with the media. Ms. Daniel is known for utilizing all the 
resources of local media to reach concerned citizens as quickly as 
possible.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I proudly 
recognize Mr. Sonya Daniel as the Florida Public Relations Crisis 
Communicator of the Year. I am grateful for the work she does to inform 
the residents of my district of critical information. My wife Vicki and 
I wish Ms. Daniel and her family all the best for the future.
