                       Friday, September 18, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ellen Grace Brown on the celebration of her 100th 
birthday. Ms. Brown celebrated her 100th birthday on August 30th, 2015 
in Lenox, Iowa.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Ms. Brown's 
life. Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on 
the moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones, and the 
internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism, and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Ms. Brown 
has lived through seventeen United States Presidents and twenty-four 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Ellen in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 100th birthday. 
I invite my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating Ms. Brown on reaching this incredible 
milestone, and wishing her even more health and happiness in the years 
to come.
