                         Friday, July 28, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Eileen Dennis of Atlantic, Iowa on the occasion of her 
100th birthday. Eileen was born on July 27, 1917.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Eileen's 
life. Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on 
the moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones and the 
Internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Eileen has 
lived through eighteen United States Presidents and twenty-five 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.

  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Eileen in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 100th birthday. 
I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Eileen on reaching this incredible milestone 
and wishing her even more health and happiness in the years to come.
