  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Keith Carpenter. Keith was recently awarded the United 
States Air Force Military Auxiliary Radio System Certificate of 
Outstanding Service.
  The Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) is a Department of Defense 
program. Members are volunteer licensed amateur radio operators who 
provide auxiliary or emergency communications to local, national and 
international safety organizations. Keith has logged 600 hours in five 
states and has recruited and trained other operators in the state. The 
award recognized him for outstanding service and selfless 
contributions. He currently serves as the Deputy Director for Region 7 
of the Air Force MARS.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Keith for this award, and for 
providing needed services in support of our country's safety. I am 
proud to represent him in the United States Congress and I ask that my 
colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in 
congratulating Keith and wishing him nothing but continued success.

                          ____________________
