                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 21, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Marjorie Ibbotson on the occasion of her 100th 
birthday on April 22, 2016.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Ms. 
Ibbotson's life. 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. 
Ibbotson 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 Ms. Ibbotson 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 Marjorie Ibbotson on 
reaching this incredible milestone, wishing her even more health and 
happiness in the years to come.
