  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to rise today to offer 
my sincerest congratulations to five truly wonderful women, who on 
Tuesday, the 16th of May, will receive special recognition from the 
Social Security Administration for having reached the extraordinary age 
of 100 years old.
  The recipients of this special honor are Ms. Edith Gutridge, Ms. 
Margaret Van Huben, Ms. Margaret Byrne, Ms. Anna Conner, and Ms. Ruth 
Kennedy. Each of these distinguished ladies have touched so many people 
over the years, and they are to be applauded for their achievements 
over the past century.
  I wish to extend to each of them my best wishes on this wonderful 
occasion, and am proud and honored to enter these words of commendation 
into the Record.
