                        Thursday, March 1, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Isabel Lathrum of Winterset, Iowa, on the very special 
occasion of her 102nd birthday on February 26, 2018.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Isabel'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. Isabel 
has lived through nineteen United States Presidents and twenty-four 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent Isabel in the United States 
Congress and I'm proud to recognize her today on this momentous 
occasion. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating her and in wishing her 
nothing but continued happiness.
