                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 16, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate 
Dr. Keith Leonard of Atlantic, Iowa for receiving the Distinguished 
Service Award given by the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Leonard 
has demonstrated dedication, encouragement, commitment and extended 
service to the Atlantic community.
  Dr. Leonard describes himself as a ``people person.'' ``I'm not the 
only person that does a lot of volunteering,'' he said. If someone 
needs help, Dr. Leonard wants to extend a helping hand to give 
assistance. He is very active in his community, volunteering his time 
with the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce, a school-to-work committee, the 
State of Iowa Veterinary Examiners Board, and the local Knights of 
Columbus. Dr. Leonard said he was surprised when he received the award, 
but he is very appreciative of the honor, and will continue to help the 
best he can.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Dr. Leonard for receiving 
this outstanding award. I ask that my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives join me in congratulating him for his 
commitment to the citizens of Atlantic and in wishing him nothing but 
continued success.
