                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 15, 2007

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Keith 
``Suede'' DosReis, Jr. Keith grew up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and has 
always had the ability to hold an audience captive. He began a career 
in entertainment at the age of 5. He attended State University of New 
York at Albany where he pledged Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
  Keith DosReis, Jr., has appeared in 16 commercials, 2 of them with 
legendary actor and comedian William ``Bill'' Cosby. Though making the 
commercials was fun, Keith's passion lies in hosting live events. Among 
his most popular was the national collegiate step show tournament, 
``StepCorrect.''
  Keith DosReis has become a sought after personality to host events 
throughout the New York Tri-State area as well as colleges nationwide. 
His hosting of national events has led to his latest endeavor of 
managing artists which is a natural outgrowth of his entrepreneurial 
and managerial experience that were derived from his days with HBO 
Sports.
  Keith DosReis is now the Program Coordinator for the Forster Laurie 
Police Athletic League Center in Queens, NY. This gives Keith an 
opportunity to provide new programs for our youth while at the same 
time bestowing upon them his knowledge of the entertainment industry.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Keith DosReis for his 
accomplishments and achievements.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
this artful entertainer.
