The REAL Butter Act would simply require that this fake butter be
clearly labeled as ``lab-created butter'' directly on the product.
  America's dairy farmers put in the work every day to keep our
families fed, our rural communities strong, and our agricultural
heritage alive. They should not have to compete with products that hide
behind vague or misleading labels.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in standing with
America's dairy farmers and supporting this commonsense legislation.

             Honoring the Life and Legacy of Elmer W. Ragen

  Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and legacy
of a true pillar of our community in Wisconsin's Eighth District and
one of my inspirations for getting involved in public service, Elmer W.
Ragen.
  Born in Oconto County in 1929, he enlisted in the United States Navy
after high school and served from 1950 to 1954 in the Korean war,
during which he rose to the rank of petty officer first class.
  In addition to his military service, he volunteered with the Pulaski
and Little Suamico Fire Departments; was a member of the Knights of
Columbus, The American Legion, and the VFW; and served as an Oconto
County veterans service officer, helping his fellow veterans.
  If that wasn't enough, Elmer served on the Chase Town Board and the
Little Suamico Town Board and as an Oconto County Board supervisor.
  Mr. Speaker, Elmer Ragen's life is a testament to public service.
From serving our country in uniform to serving in northeast Wisconsin
as a volunteer, veteran advocate, and local elected official, his
legacy will never be forgotten by me and so many others. My prayers are
with his family during this difficult time.

           Congratulating Kaukauna High School Baseball Team

  Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate northeast
Wisconsin's very own Kaukauna High School baseball team on winning the
WIAA Division 1 State baseball championship.
  The Galloping Ghosts defeated Madison Memorial 11-5, earning
Kaukauna's first State baseball title since 1953. This historic win was
the result of an incredible team effort, with Kaukauna recording 13
hits and eight different players contributing at the plate.
  This championship title did not come easily. After falling behind
early, the Galloping Ghosts refused to let the moment get away from
them. The team battled back, took control of the game, and delivered a
performance worthy of a State champion.
  Mr. Speaker, this victory is a proud moment for the entire Kaukauna
community. After more than 70 years, the Galloping Ghosts are, once
again, State champions.
  I extend my congratulations to Head Coach Mike Jenkins, the entire
coaching staff, and the team on this incredible accomplishment.

      Congratulating Fox Valley Lutheran High School Softball Team

  Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Fox Valley
Lutheran High School Foxes on winning the WIAA Division 2 State
softball championship.
  After ending an undefeated season in a heartbreaking loss at the
sectional finals last year, the Foxes came back this season determined
and with something to prove. That determination led them all the way to
the finals, where they delivered a decisive 9-1 victory over Pewaukee
to claim the first WIAA softball State title in school history.
  This achievement is a proud moment for the players, Fox Valley
Lutheran High School, and the entire Fox Cities community. Through
their hard work and dedication, the team has made school history and
has given northeast Wisconsin another championship team to celebrate.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my sincere congratulations to Head Coach Gunner
Pfrang, the entire coaching staff, and the team on this incredible
accomplishment.

               MARKING FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF DOBBS RULING

  (Ms. Johnson of Texas was recognized to address the House for 5
minutes.)
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, we have just recognized 4 years
since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Women today have fewer
rights and are less safe because of Republicans.
  It is unacceptable that if you are a pregnant woman in this country,
your only guarantee to access safe, effective care for you and your
baby is where you live.
  Abortion bans haven't decreased abortions. Instead, they have only
put women's lives at greater risk.
  If you live in a blue State, you can make your decision that you and
your family determine is best for you, and you can access the care that
you feel is appropriate.
  If you live in a red State and have a complication, however, you have
to be near death to be seen by a medical professional.
  The Texas abortion ban specifically is so confusing and restrictive
that doctors are refusing to treat pregnant women until they face life-
threatening complications because treating them too soon could send
that doctor to jail.
  These are the problems that women and families are facing across the
country because of what Republicans have done, and it is putting lives
at risk.
  Mr. Speaker, as we observe 4 years since this awful Court decision,
our fight for safer health and reproductive care for women across this
country must continue. We must never stop until women have their full
equality to access the care that they deserve.

                     Achieving a More Perfect Union

  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the
250th anniversary of the birth of our great Nation.
  Founded on the ideals of equality and self-determination, the
American experiment has been an enduring symbol of freedom and
democracy.
  For 250 years, our Nation has been at the forefront of innovation and
scientific discovery. It is because of our strong democratic
institutions and our Nation's diversity that this country is so great.
  Most importantly, we celebrate and honor the sacrifices that so many
Americans have made to protect and defend the freedoms that we enjoy
today, but we are at a crossroads.
  Rights are being eroded, not expanded. The right to vote is under
attack. Racial divisions and healing have taken backward steps, while
the rise of White Christian nationalism explodes.
  For the first time, our younger generations are not seeing a future
where they are better off than their parents. We must reset as a
politic and resume a focus on life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness for everyone; a focus that the rule of law and due process
matters; and a focus that truth matters, service is honored, and
accountability exists even at the highest levels of government.
  As we contemplate what it means to be an American today, we can look
back and see that progress made by our ancestors and look forward
knowing that, united under our ideals of freedom and equality, we can
take steps to finally achieve that more perfect Union.

                        RECOGNIZING BILL JENSEN

  (Mr. Bacon of Nebraska was recognized to address the House for 5
minutes.)
  Mr. BACON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a man from Omaha
who is known for his dedication, integrity, tenacity, and voice. Bill
Jensen, also known as the Voice of the College World Series, started
his radio broadcast career at KLIN in 1967. He took a small break to
serve in the United States Air Force from 1968 to 1972.
  Bill then returned to Omaha radio, working at KOTD, KLNG, KYNN, WOW,
KOMJ, and KFAB. He gave his vocal pipes a break when he worked as an
aide to the Omaha mayor from 1978 to 1981.
  On January 10, 1975, Bill was the last to arrive at KLNG on a Friday
and would be stuck there with the rest of his news team until Sunday.
Omaha received 16 inches of snow, compounded by 60-mile-an-hour winds,
paralyzing the city for days.
  The following May, Omaha was struck by an F4 tornado that, at the
time, was the costliest tornado in history, with at least $150 million
in damage. As trained spotters and radio station personnel called in
reports, Bill

remained steadfast on the KLNG airwaves as the anchor, providing the
people of Omaha with calm resolve and valuable information.
  Bill was also credited with being the first journalist to report on
the death of Omaha Mayor Bernie Simon in 1988.
  Throughout his career, Bill also worked part-time for the Omaha
Royals and the Storm Chasers at the College World Series, starting in
1983 as an usher supervisor and serving in different areas such as
ticket taker, pass gate attendant, security at the Hall of Fame room at
Rosenblatt, and scoreboard operator. In the mid-1980s, he took over as
the announcer for the Omaha Royals, and in 2001, he competed and won
the coveted spot to replace Jake Payne at the mike at the College World
Series.
  What many people don't know is the time that Bill would spend
preparing for the World Series, watching as many regional college games
as possible to learn the teams and the players' names. In his 26 years,
Bill has announced more than 370 consecutive games, and together, he
and Jack announced over 900 games.
  Some of his most memorable moments include his very first game when
he introduced President George W. Bush, who threw out the first pitch,
and Nebraska's first-ever appearance at the College World Series.
  Bill also fondly remembers Father's Day in 2022, when members of his
family surprised him in the announcer's booth because he never got to
spend a Father's Day with them. He will also remember the baked treats
that his wife would make for him and his colleagues during the World
Series.
  Bill Jensen and his predecessor, Jack, will forever be remembered as
the Voices of the College World Series.
  Now, he looks forward to being a fan and spending time at and away
from the games with his wife, Deanna; his daughter, Danielle; stepson,
Brian; daughter-in-law, Wendy; and grandchildren Natalie, Connor,
Carly, and Camryn.
  Mr. Speaker, as Bill hits the button on the mike for the last time,
Omaha thanks him.
