                        Monday, January 29, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Joseph Fennell of Council Bluffs, Iowa on the very special 
occasion of his 100th birthday. Joseph was born on November 15, 1917.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Joseph'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. Joseph has 
lived through eighteen United States Presidents and twenty-five 
Governors of Iowa. In his lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Joseph in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish him a very happy 100th birthday. 
I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Joe on reaching this incredible milestone, 
and in wishing him even more health and happiness in the years to come
