                      RECOGNIZING COACH JERRY CLAY

  (Mr. WESTERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize 43 years of service 
to young men in Garland County, Arkansas, by Coach Jerry Clay, whose 
269 wins as head coach at Fountain Lake High School and Lake Hamilton 
High School are sixth all-time on the list of most wins in Arkansas 
high school football.
  Good coaches have the ability to teach their players to win 
consistently on the field. Great coaches teach their players to be 
winners in life. Jerry Clay is a great coach. Not only has he coached 
14 conference championships and had teams compete in six State 
championships--winning two--many young men he coached have gone on to 
excel in virtually all areas of society, from doctors, to businessmen, 
to true American heroes like SEAL Team 6 operator Adam Brown, whose 
life story was chronicled in the best-seller book, ``Fearless.''
  I will forever be grateful for the investment Jerry Clay made in my 
life as my coach, and I wish him many happy years in retirement.
