Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the decades of service of my congressional community liaison and my friend, Harriet V. Carter. Harriet, a graduate of Tulane University, who participated in study abroad programs, served as a congressional aide for many years in my district office and, during her semi-retirement, has been a goodwill ambassador to our community on my behalf. Harriet Carter is a graduate of Leadership Miami, the Cuban American National Council's Hispanic Leadership Training Program, and has been active in the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, the Jewish Community Relations Council, and a bevy of groups that help Floridians. Harriet's tireless work in my office and throughout our community demonstrates the positive impact that one person can have. Harriet Carter's dedication to the service of others is an inspiration, and I am sure that she will continue to work diligently on behalf of our South Florida community for many years to come. ____________________
