                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jacob Hitz, a graduate of Creston High School in Creston, 
Iowa. Jacob was recently honored for outstanding academic achievement 
at the Fifteenth Annual Governor's Scholar Recognition on April 30, 
2017.
  This statewide program is sponsored by the Iowa Governor's Office, 
the Iowa High School Athletic Association, and the Iowa Farm Bureau. 
Each Iowa high school was invited to select a senior with the highest 
academic achievement. Not only are recipients academically gifted, but 
the selected students are also those who have had success in extra-
curricular activities and community involvement.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent leaders like Jacob in the 
United States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize him 
for utilizing his talents to reach his goals. I invite my colleagues in 
the United States House of Representatives to join me in congratulating 
him on receiving this esteemed designation, and in wishing him nothing 
but the best.
