  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Steven

  Dr. Bascom was presented with this award during the IPA Annual

  I applaud and congratulate Dr. Bascom for receiving this award. I am 
proud to represent him and his fellow doctors and pharmacists in 
Guthrie County in the United States Congress. I know that my colleagues 
in the House join me in congratulating Dr. Bascom and wishing him 
nothing but continued success in the future.
