Hour of Meeting on Tomorrow

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the month of July as National Ice Cream Month and celebrate America's favorite frozen dairy treat.

As the weather gets hotter and the days get longer, there truly is nothing like a bowl of sweet, smooth ice cream to help turn down the heat. Dedicated in the United States by the late President Ronald Reagan, National Ice Cream Month serves to boost spirits and cool temperatures, especially on a day as warm as this one.

Not just a staple of the American diet, American ice cream also boosts local communities. Keep an eye out for the more than half of ice cream shops in the United States that are family owned and have been in operation for more than 50 years.

Madam Speaker, you can support local scoop shops the entire month throughout the summer. Enjoy the sweetest month of the year by supporting local businesses and industry.
