  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Marilyn and Clark Batten of Clarinda, Iowa on the very 
special occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. They celebrated 
their anniversary on September 30, 2017.
  Marilyn and Clark's lifelong commitment to each other and their 
family truly embodies Iowa values. As they reflect on their 50th 
anniversary, may their commitment grow even stronger, as they continue 
to love, cherish, and honor one another for many years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend this great couple on their 50th year together, 
and I wish them many more. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating them on this 
momentous occasion and in wishing them nothing but the best.
