                          Monday, June 1, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the heroic 
efforts of Iowa State Trooper Tracy Bohlen, who provided lifesaving 
medical treatment to a man in need.
  Trooper Bohlen went to investigate what appeared to be a fight inside 
of a truck. Upon opening the door he saw a panicked young man trying to 
help his father who was having a medical emergency. Trooper Bohlen 
leapt into action and laid the man down in the middle of the interstate 
to do chest compressions for 50 seconds. Due to his quick action, he 
was able to get the man breathing again within a minute.
  Several Iowans also stopped to make sure the man in need and his son 
made it to the hospital to receive care. I thank Iowa State Trooper 
Tracy Bohlen for his decisive action and his commitment to service. It 
is an honor to represent Trooper Bohlen in the United States Congress 
and wish him continued success well into the future.
