CONGRATULATING ISAAC BEHAR ON HIS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FROM MIAMI 
                         JEWISH HEALTH NETWORKS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House

for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize an 
outstanding constituent from my district in south Florida, Isaac Behar, 
a longtime humanitarian, philanthropist, and businessman. Ike will be 
presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Miami Jewish 
Health Networks.
  Ike's American journey embodies the American Dream. At the age of 20, 
Isaac left Havana for the United States with only $50 and the dream of 
building a new life and helping others. He proudly served our country, 
the United States, in the Army in the Korean War.
  Upon completion of his service, he started his own clothing business, 
the Ike Behar Company, with over 400 employees. After seeing the great 
care that his mother-in-law received from the Miami Health Networks, 
Isaac decided to make sure that others would be able to take advantage 
of their great services. Due to his generosity and commitment, the 
Miami Health Networks have been able to continue to serve all south 
Floridians.
  Ike, I would like to commend you for your service, for your support 
for our community and our Nation. Thank you for your dedication and 
commitment to improving the lives of all south Floridians. Thank you.
