Washington (Mr. Newhouse) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Marc Gallaway 
from Selah Middle School for being named the Association of Washington 
School Principals Middle Level Principal of the Year.
  A lifelong Washingtonian, Marc Gallaway earned his bachelor's degree

teacher and a baseball coach before he came to work at Selah Junior 
High School in 2005.
  Mr. Gallaway has served as principal at what is now Selah Middle 
School for the past 14 years. Every day, Mr. Gallaway nurtures a 
culture of positivity and teamwork among students and staff.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to honor Mr. Gallaway for empowering students and 
teachers to embrace the Viking Way and thank him for his positive 
influence that he has had on students in central Washington.
  This award is something that Mr. Gallaway, his students, and fellow 
faculty and staff should be very proud of. I urge my colleagues to join 
me in congratulating Marc Gallaway on this significant achievement.


              Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, September is National Hispanic Heritage 
Month, and I am proud to represent central Washington where Hispanic 
heritage and culture tells the story of many of my constituents and our 
communities.
  I have witnessed firsthand how Hispanic Americans contribute to our 
communities through entrepreneurship, military service, and cultural 
diversity. I am proud to recognize my Hispanic American friends and 
neighbors in Washington's Fourth Congressional District.
  I am also proud to support national appreciation of Hispanic American 
and Latino leadership and heritage as an original cosponsor of the 
National Museum of the American Latino Act. I support the establishment 
of a Smithsonian museum to recognize Latino contributions to American 
history, life, art, and culture.
  In the United States, our shared values bring us together, and we 
cherish our Nation's diverse history. I urge my colleagues to join me 
in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month.


Recognizing Cathey Anderson for Energy Northwest's CEO Lifesaving Award

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cathey Anderson 
for the compassion she demonstrated aboard a flight from Nevada to 
central Washington.
  Cathey did not think twice before springing into action when she 
noticed a man in his 70s who was traveling alone. He appeared confused 
and then lost consciousness.
  Cathey recognized the signs of a seizure, and she took the initiative 
to help. She and two other nurses administered medical treatment until 
the flight landed, and they were greeted by medical crews upon arrival 
in Yakima.
  Cathey is a registered nurse and the occupational health supervisor 
at Energy Northwest. She was awarded the CEO Lifesaving Award for her 
actions.

  To Cathey's family and friends, her quick action was not a surprise, 
because it wasn't the first time she comforted a stranger in distress.
  I thank Cathey for her willingness to help others around her 
everywhere she goes. Please join me in recognizing Cathey Anderson for 
receiving this prestigious award.
