                       Wednesday, March 13, 2019

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mrs. 
Rose Eng, who turned 100 years old on February 22, 2019.
  Rose is a model citizen who truly encapsulates the highest ideals of 
the American dream.
  She came to the United States from China in 1948, and together with 
her husband Bill Y.F. Eng, a veteran of World War II, owned and 
operated the Canton Cafe in Walla Walla, Washington between 1949 and 
1980.
  Through hard work, sacrifice and perseverance, Rose and her husband 
were not only able to send all five of their children to college, a 
remarkable feat onto itself, but were also able to put a down payment 
on the first home for each of their children, laying the foundation for 
a prosperous future.
  In the words of her daughter, they are ``forever grateful to such 
amazing parents.''
  I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating her on this 
milestone birthday and wish her the best in the future.
