                        Monday, December 4, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Linda Piper of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on her recent 
retirement as the System Analyst for the City of Council Bluffs. Linda 
was hired as a switchboard operator by the City of Council Bluffs on 
September 15, 1970, and retired after exactly 47 years of service on 
September 15, 2017.
  Linda has held several positions during her career with the City. She 
worked in the City Treasurer's office, serving as a data processing 
technician and data processing coordinator as the computer technology 
evolved at City Hall. When the city created an IT Department, Linda was 
promoted to Systems Analyst, the position she held at retirement. 
Council Bluffs Mayor Matt Walsh said, ``Linda has been a great employee 
and a great individual. She will be missed by everyone in City Hall.''

  Mr. Speaker, Linda has made a difference by helping and serving 
others. It is with great honor that I recognize her today. I ask that 
my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating her for this outstanding accomplishment, and in wishing 
her nothing but the best in her retirement.
