                         Thursday, May 18, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Brad Baker of Creston, Iowa, for being inducted into the 
Iowa High School Athletic Association Officials Hall of Fame.
  This award was presented to Brad by the Iowa High School Athletic 
Association on March 10th, during the Boy's State Basketball 
Tournament. Brad started officiating in the late 1980s after taking a 
class at Southwestern Community College. Since then, he has been active 
as a basketball and football official.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by Brad embodies the Iowa spirit and I 
am honored to represent him, and Iowans like him, in the United States 
Congress. I ask that all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Brad for his achievement and 
in wishing him nothing but continued success.
