  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Craig Sackett, of Menlo, Iowa, for earning the American 
FFA Degree. Craig was recently awarded the degree at the National FFA 
Convention and Expo in Louisville, Kentucky on October 3lst. Craig was 
a member of the Nodaway Valley FFA Organization and is the son of Jeff 
and Laurie Sackett.
  The American FFA Degree is awarded to members who have demonstrated 
the highest level of commitment to FFA and made significant 
accomplishments in their supervised agricultural experience. Craig had 
to meet certain requirements, such as studying agriculture for three 
years in high school, earning money in an agriculture field, investing 
that money into business, participating in community service, and 
displaying a record of outstanding leadership ability and community 
involvement. Craig spent four years in high school working towards this 
ultimate goal, and through his hard work and determination he was able 
to achieve it.

  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Craig in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize him 
today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Craig on receiving this 
degree and in wishing him nothing but continued success.
