recognize a remarkable south Florida organization, the Puerto Rican Bar 
Association of Florida, that will soon be celebrating its 10th-year 
anniversary in Miami.
  Over the past 10 years, the association has been dedicated to public 
service in my home State of Florida, preserving the civil rights, the 
political rights and responsibilities of Puerto Ricans as Americans, as 
well as Floridians.
  The Puerto Rican Bar Association of Florida also serves as an 
educational tool for undergraduate, graduate, and law students through 
a Moot Court Competition, which will be held this year in conjunction 
with the association's historic anniversary.
  I congratulate its president, Richard Robles, for his impressive work 
and wish everyone in the association continued success on behalf of the 
Puerto Rican community of Florida.
