  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor James Hardy, 
history teacher at East Union School. Mr. Hardy received the Gilder 
Lehrman Iowa History Teacher of the Year award.
  This award, sponsored by Gilder Lehrman Institute of American 
History, recognizes outstanding American history teachers who possess a 
strong commitment to teaching American history and who exhibit 
creativity and imagination in the classroom. Each year, the Institute 
enhances the education of more than a million students by offering 
support and resources to tens of thousands of teachers. The Institute's 
programs have been recognized by awards from the White House, the 
National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Organization of American 
Historians.
  I applaud and congratulate James for providing the youth in Iowa's 
3rd district the education that they will need to be successful in the 
future and for being recognized with this prestigious award. I am proud 
to represent him, his fellow teachers and students in the United States 
Congress. I know that my colleagues join me in congratulating James 
Hardy and wishing him well and continued success in the future.
