                        Wednesday, March 1, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Joshua Mandelbaum 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.
  Joshua is committed to serving his community. As an environmental 
attorney at the Environmental Law and Policy Center, he is a leading 
voice for Iowa's clean energy economy and constantly working towards 
collaborative solutions to improving Iowa's water quality. As a father 
of two young children, he brings passion and insight to the Polk County 
Early Childhood Iowa board and its work to provide quality early 
childhood education and child care to all of Polk County.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like Joshua 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize him today 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 Joshua 
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.
