                        Wednesday, June 5, 2019

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, over the years, the Navy 
League of the United States has compiled an impressive record of 
accomplishments and is widely respected by both the private and public 
sector.

Navy League programs are welcomed in communities throughout the nation 
and its members are recognized for their integrity and patriotism.
  In the words of President Theodore Roosevelt, ``It seems to me that 
all good Americans interested in the growth of their country and 
sensitive to its honor should give hearty support to the policies which 
the Navy League is founded. For the building and maintaining in proper 
shape of the American Navy, we must rely on nothing but the broad and 
farsighted patriotism of our people as a whole.''
  In keeping with the wisdom and principles of President Theodore 
Roosevelt, it is my honor and privilege before the 116th Congress to 
recognize the 50,000 members and over 250 Councils of the Navy League 
of the United States at its National Convention June 19 to 22, 2019.
