  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Danielle Haindfield for being named a 2013 Forty Under 40 honoree by 
the award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
   Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual

Moines area who are making an impact in their communities and their

which is based on a combined criteria of community involvement and 
success in their chosen career field. The 2013 class of Forty Under 40 
honorees join an impressive roster of 560 business leaders and growing.
   Danielle Haindfield is a shareholder attorney with Ahlers and 
Cooney, P.C. in Des Moines practicing primarily in education and 
construction law. Danielle is a proud Drake University alumnus where 
she graduated Magna Cum Laude with her B.A. and ultimately received her 
Juris Doctor degree with high honors. Through Ahlers and Cooney, 
Danielle participates in community outreach programs for Children and 
Families of Iowa, United Way of Central Iowa, Youth Emergency Services 
and Shelter, and staffing of Iowa Legal Aid intake program. Outside of

Faculty Club and was selected to serve on the National School Boards 
Association Council of School Attorneys. Mrs. Haindfield is married to 
her husband Matthew, and together they have two daughters, Taylor and

and service that our state can be proud of.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like 
Danielle in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that 
I recognize and applaud Mrs. Haindfield for utilizing her talents to 
better both her community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my 
colleagues in the House to join me in congratulating Danielle on 
receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at Business Record 
for their great work, and wishing each member of the 2013 Forty Under
