                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 14, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a great achievement 
by Dustin Smith of Decorah, Iowa. He was named overall high point 
individual in his age division at the 2010 National Junior Shorthorn 
Show and Youth Conference in East Lansing, Michigan.
  The annual National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference, which 
was founded in 1981, is a weeklong event full of contests and 
educational activities. More than 300 junior shorthorn enthusiasts from 
24 states competed in this year's conference. Dustin Smith accumulated 
the points from first place showings in his division in three 
categories: the arts and crafts contest, the livestock judging contest 
and the team fitting contest.
  The example set by Dustin demonstrates the rewards of hard work, 
dedication and determination. His triumph is an honor that we all can 
admire and be proud of.

  I am honored to represent Dustin Smith in the United States Congress. 
I know that my colleagues join me in congratulating Dustin and wishing 
him continued success in his future endeavors.
