                      Tuesday, September 20, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Ada Goshorn on the occasion of her 100th birthday on 
August 19, 2016.
  Our world has changed immensely during Ada'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. Ada 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 Ada Goshorn 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 Ada on reaching this 
incredible milestone, and wishing her even more health and happiness in 
the years to come.
