                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 28, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Irene Stimson of Blanchard, Iowa on the very special 
occasion of her 100th birthday. Irene was born on October 19, 1917.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Irene'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. Irene 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 Irene 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 Irene on reaching this incredible milestone, 
and in wishing her even more health and happiness in the years to come.
