  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Joe Benesh of RDG Planning in Des Moines, Iowa for being named a 2014 
Forty Under 40 honoree by the award-winning central Iowa publication, 
Business Record.
   Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of young leaders in the Greater Des 
Moines area who are making an impact in their communities and their 
careers. Each year, forty up-and-coming community and business leaders 
under 40 years of age are selected for this prestigious distinction, 
which is based on a combined criteria of community involvement and 
success in their chosen career field. The 2014 class of Forty Under 40 
honorees join an impressive roster of nearly 600 business leaders and 
growing.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Joe in 
the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize 
and applaud Mr. Benesh for utilizing his talents to better both his 
community and the great state of Iowa. I invite my colleagues in the 
House to join me in congratulating Joe on receiving this esteemed 
designation, thanking those at Business Record for their great work, 
and wishing each member of the 2014 Forty Under 40 class continued 
success.
