                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 18, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Mary DeWitt on the occasion of her 100th birthday on 
March 27, 2016.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Mary'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. Mary 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 Mary in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 100th birthday. 
I ask that my colleagues in the House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Mary on reaching this incredible milestone, and wishing 
her even more health and happiness in the years to come.
