                         Monday, April 18, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Gordon Hennick on the occasion of his 100th birthday on 
March 30, 2016.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Gordon's 
life. Since his 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. Gordon has 
lived through seventeen United States Presidents and twenty-four 
Governors of Iowa. In his lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Gordon in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish him a very happy 100th birthday. 
I invite my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Gordon on reaching this incredible milestone and wishing 
him even more health and happiness in the years to come.
