                       Thursday, October 19, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Henry Karg of Clarinda, Iowa on the occasion of his 104th 
birthday. Henry was born on October 29, 1913.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Henry's life. 
Since his 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. Henry has 
lived through nineteen United States Presidents and twenty-two 
Governors of Iowa. In his lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Henry in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish him a very happy 104th birthday. 
I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Henry on reaching this incredible milestone, 
and in wishing him nothing but the best.
