Mr. Speaker, i rise today to recognize june as National Dairy month. Dairy products like milk contain nine essential nutrients which help reduce your risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis and certain cancers. Whether its a problem to protein to help build and repair the tissue or vitamin a to help maintain healthy skin, Dairy Products are a Natural Nutrient powerhouse. It started out as National Milk month in 1937 to stabilize the dairy demand when the production was at a surplus. Now, it has developed into an annual tradition to celebrate the contributions the dairy industry made to the world. Proudly, the commonwealth of pennsylvania is one of the largest milk producing states in the nation. I have a bill called the whole milk for healthy kids act which would will allow whole milk, both flavored and nonflavored, to be offered in school cafeterias. I offered a bill to expand milk options for students and reverse the decline of milk consumption in our schools. Our bill reaffirms recent regulation from the u. S. Department of agriculture by providing schools with the option to serve low fat milk with flavor and require that milk offered is consistent with the most recent dietary guidelines for americans. In november, 2017, the u. S. Department of agriculture announced regulatory changes for the National School lunch and School Breakfast programs, including a provision that provides schools with the option to serve low fat 1 flavored milk. The School Milk Nutrition act for 2019 would codify this milk provision and maintain the option for schools to offer low fat 1 flavored milk if it is consistent with the most recent dietary guidelines for americans. I urge my colleagues to sign onto these bills during National Dairy month and allowing our students to allow to consume the type of milk they love and receive the nutrition they need. Mr. Speaker, i look forward a week from today to be in the State Capitol in harrisburg for a rally for all the advocates for nutrition for children and certainly for dairy farming as we rally for whole milk for healthy kids.

Ewell, for five minutes. Ms. Sewell mr. Speaker, i rise today to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of the late coach otis washington. A native of selma, alabama, coach washington was a legendary louisiana football hall of famer who instilled in his players his winning spirit, strong character, and quest for excellence. Sadly, coach washington passed away on friday, may 24, 2019, at the age of 80. Coach washington was born on february 12, 1939, in selma, alabama, to saidy and otis washington sr. He graduated from r. B. Hudson high school in 1957 where he was class president and a star athlete. He then graduated from Xavier University in new orleans where he was captain of the Football Team and an allconference guard and linebacker. Coach washingtons resume speaks for itself. As the head football coach, he led st. Augustine high school in new orleans, louisiana, to three state championships and in his 11 seasons there, he guided the purple knights to 11 consecutive winning seasons and seven district titles. In 1979, coach washington became the first africanamerican football coach at l. S. U. When he joined the staff as offensive line coach. Later, coach washington was hired as the head football coach at southern university, where he led the jaguars for six seasons. Because of his many outstanding football achievements, coach washington was inducted into the Louisiana Sports hall of fame in 2015 and st. Augustine hall of fame in 2017, among many, many other honors. His success on the football field was matched by his many efforts in the community to promote fairness, equity, and justice. Coach washington was a key figure in integrating the Louisiana High School athletic association. While coach washington was often quick to downplay his role in integrating the league, he did so as a humble man who knew his place but more importantly knew that his place was rising above the stars and making sure that his players knew that they were just as good, if not better, than any other player on the field. Coach washington was a devout catholic and devote member of the church in baton rouge, louisiana. His devotion to his faith began as a young boy in selma, alabama, where he was a member of the boys club founded by father nelson in 1947. He was also a devout husband to his wife of 52 years, Linda Patterson washington of baton ruining, larks, whom he met while coaching the at st. Augustine. His siblings, carol, olivia, charlene, sharon, irma ruth, and many god children, special god children, as well as nieces and nephews and relatives will miss him dearly. On a personal note i knew this amazing man as my uncle otis. He was one of my fathers childhood best friends fwroge up in selma, alabama, uncle otis, my dat, charles williams, and Ted Washington refer to themselves as the four amigos in grammar school, a name that stuck with them throughout their lives. These men never forgot the lessons they learned from the fathers at the boys club in selma. Their love for their hometown of selma and their commitment to service through sports will always be remembered. Uncle otis and aunty linda were constant presence in the lives of my Twin Brothers and myself. I will always count on them for word of encouragement and boast of pride in my many accomplishments. I know i stand today as alabamas first black congresswoman because of the love and support of mentors like uncle otis and aunty linda. Like my dad uncle otis will be missed but never forget gotten. His legacy will live on. May we find comfort knowing his legend lives in us and we are stronger and better because uncle otis light shines bright within us. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the extraordinary life and legacy of selmas own coach otis washington, a football legend and louisiana hall of famer. May we celebrate the totality of his life and honor his great accomplishments in sports and contributions in shaping the hearts and minds and character of many men.
