  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mark Brandenburg of Council Bluffs, Iowa, for being 
inducted into the Thomas Jefferson High School Hall of Fame. Mark is a 
1973 graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School in Council Bluffs.
  Mark attended Iowa Western Community College and received a degree in 
mathematics. After graduation, he moved on to earn a bachelor's degree 
in Management and Human Resources from Bellevue University. Mark's 
career began at the Omaha Public Power District but he was just getting 
started. He was eventually elected to the Council Bluffs Community 
School District Board, served two terms as a State Representative in 
the Iowa House of Representatives, and currently serves as the 
Pottawattamie County Recorder. Mark is active in the Council Bluffs 
community and has worked with the Iowa Western Community College Alumni 
Association, the Union Pacific Railroad Museum Board, the Senior Center 
Board, and the Heartland Chapter of the American Red Cross.

  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Mark on his induction into 
the Hall of Fame at Thomas Jefferson High School. I am proud to 
represent him in the United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues 
in the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
Mark and in wishing him nothing but continued success.
