              CELEBRATING JACKIE ROWE ADAMS' 75TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. ESPAILLAT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the birthday of 
Jackie Rowe Adams.
  This week, our communities, northern Manhattan and Harlem, celebrate 
Jackie, who is a powerhouse in northern Manhattan and Harlem.
  Jackie is not only a union leader but Jackie is also a community 
advocate. After tragically losing two of her sons to gun violence, 
Jackie cofounded Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E., an organization dedicated to 
ending gun violence in our community, for which Jackie has worked 
tirelessly. She continues to be a force of change for our community, 
particularly advocating for young people.
  Let me tell you something, Mr. Speaker, her voice is the window to 
her soul. She has a tremendous soprano voice, and everybody enjoys her 
singing in the community.
  We wish Jackie a happy birthday, and we look forward to hearing her 
singing in the community.
