  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate William Scales for being named a 2017 Forty Under 40 
honoree by the award-winning central Iowa publication, Business Record.
  Since 2000, Business Record has undertaken an exhaustive annual 
review to identify a standout group of young leaders in the Greater Des 
Moines Area that are making an impact in their communities and their 
careers. Each year, forty up-and-coming community and business leaders 
under 40 years of age are selected for this prestigious honor based on 
a combined criteria of community involvement and success in their 
chosen career field. The 2017 class of Forty Under 40 honorees will 
join an impressive roster of 680 past business leaders and growing.
  William is a member attorney at Whitfield & Eddy Law Firm in Des 
Moines, tirelessly advocating for his clients and passionate about 
making Des Moines a better community. Outside of his law practice, 
William is an Associate Fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America, 
and has been active with the Greater Des Moines Partnership's Youth 
Leadership Initiative and several other community-centered 
organizations. William served in the U.S. Army as an Air Defense 
Officer from 2004-2008, and this year will be marrying the love of his 
life, Erica.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like William 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize and applaud him for utilizing his talents to better both his 
community and the great state of Iowa. I ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
William on receiving this esteemed designation, thanking those at 
Business Record for their great work, and wishing each member of the 
2017 Forty Under 40 class a long and successful career.
