                         Thursday, May 19, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Swede and Nellie Swanson of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the very special 
occasion of their 70th wedding anniversary. They were married on March 
19, 1946 in Osborn, Kansas.
  Swede and Nellie's lifelong commitment to each other and their family 
truly embodies Iowa values. It is because of Iowans like them that I'm 
proud to represent our great state.
  I commend this great couple on their 70th year together and I wish 
them many more. I know my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating them on this momentous 
occasion.
