Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a proud Florida Gator. In the last ``Best Colleges'' edition of the U.S. News & World Report, the University of Florida was named the number 6 public university in the country. That ranking marks the fourth--I want to repeat that, that ranking marks the fourth--consecutive year the University of Florida has risen in the rankings for public universities, jumping from number 14 in 2017 to number 6 today. UF is one of the finest research universities in the United States, attracting the best and brightest from around the great State of Florida, America, and the world. I want to congratulate President Kent Fuchs, his staff, the faculty, student body, and the board of trustees for their collective efforts in continuing to elevate the University of Florida to higher and higher rankings. And I can't end without saying: Go Gators. Supporting First Responders and Law Enforcement
