                        TRIBUTE TO MAURICE HERR

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 15, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Maurice 
Herr of Dallas Center, Iowa, on the celebration of his 100th birthday. 
He spent a lifetime farming and raising his family in the Dallas Center 
area. As a farmer by profession, it is only fitting that Mr. Herr is an 
avid John Deere collector, showing off many of his collectibles and 
memorabilia at his residence. He is an avid Iowa Hawkeyes fan, as 
evidenced by his ever-present Hawkeye cap.
  Our world has changed immensely during the course of Maurice'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. Mr. Herr 
has lived through seventeen United States Presidents and twenty-one 
Governors of Iowa. In his lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Mr. Herr in the United 
States Congress. It is my pleasure to wish him a very happy 100th 
birthday. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Maurice Herr for reaching 
this incredible milestone and in wishing him nothing but the best.
