  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th 
Anniversary of Young, Oakes, Brown, & Company, P.C.
  Young, Oakes, Brown, & Company, P.C. is the oldest professional firm 
in Blair County and one of the largest independently owned accounting 
and consulting firms based in Central Pennsylvania. Founded in Altoona, 
Pennsylvania in 1917, the firm has grown to employ 30 individuals that 
maintain the company's reputation of Excellency in the accounting, tax 
preparation, and auditing profession. Throughout their 100 years, 
Young, Oakes, Brown, & Company, P.C. has continuously been an active 
community partner supporting charities, service and fraternal clubs and 
contributing to the 9th District of Pennsylvania.
   Young, Oakes, Brown, & Company, P.C.'s current stakeholders are an 
outstanding example of integrity and professionalism in the workforce, 
and I know their founder, Robert E. Young, would be proud of the legacy 
they have continued.
   I ask that all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Young, Oakes, Brown, & 
Company, P.C. on this historic milestone, and wishing this business 
nothing but continued success.
