 HONORING AMERICAN CLERGY LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE NATIONAL PARENTS' DAY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 2019

  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, I want to take a moment to recognize and 
honor this year's National Parents' Day Award Luncheon hosted by the 
American Clergy Leadership Conference in my district, New York 16.
  In 1994, Congress unanimously passed ``The Parents' Day 
Resolution''--which I cosponsored--establishing the fourth Sunday of 
July as an annual holiday, like Mother's Day and Father's Day. National 
Parents' Day this year will actually be on Sunday, July 28.
  The American Clergy Leadership conference is an interfaith and 
interracial coalition of faith leaders working together beyond 
denomination to strengthen marriages and families, renew communities 
and our nation. ACLC ministers share the vision that America should be 
an example to the world showing how all people can live together as one 
family.
  To mark National Parents' Day, the ACLC is promoting family as a way 
to support the community by upholding and awarding people who have been 
role models in parenting their children and serving the broader 
community.
  As Representative and a proud parent of three wonderful children, I 
applaud the work the ACLC is doing to recognize and celebrate all of 
the wonderful parents we have in this amazing district. I want to 
congratulate this year's ACLC Awards Luncheon honorees and thank them, 
along with our dear friends in ACLC, for all they do every day to 
better our community and create a strong foundation on which our 
children can learn and grow.
