                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 21, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Olga Bruno de Munoz of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the 
celebration of her 100th birthday on March 21, 2016.
  Ms. Munoz attended high school in Guayama, Puerto Rico and graduated 
with a secretarial degree, later moving on to work for the Puerto Rican 
government. Ms. Munoz and her late husband, Bartolome M. Munoz, were 
the parents of two daughters, Olga and Margie, and she has seven 
grandchildren, six great-children, and two great-great granddaughters. 
Ms. Munoz enjoys reading and shopping and says her favorite foods are 
Puerto Rican and Chinese. While living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Olga 
was an active volunteer with the Presbyterian Hospital and loved to 
design dresses for her daughters.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Ms. Munoz'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. Munoz 
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.
  I am honored and pleased to congratulate Olga Bruno de Munoz on her 
100th birthday. I urge my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating Ms. Munoz on reaching this 
incredible milestone, and I wish her even more health and happiness in 
the years to come.
