Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of McCain Foods' 65th anniversary.

McCain Foods is the largest producer of frozen french fries and appetizers in the world, now with over 65 years of experience working with potato, sweet potato, and onion growers from family farms across the United States--including in Central Washington. Every year, they partner with over 3,500 producers to harvest and locally source 6.8 million tons of potatoes.

With processing plants across the United States, including in my district in Othello, Washington, McCain is a strong industry partner that plays a critical role as a customer of Washington grown potatoes, and a provider of safe, nutritious food for consumers across the globe.

Please join me in recognizing McCain Foods as they celebrate 65 years of dedicated service supporting American farmers and filling Americans' plates.
