                        Wednesday, May 23, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Iowa State 
Representative Clel Baudler. Mr. Baudler retired from the Iowa House of 
Representatives after 20 years of service.
  Clel dreamed of public service as a child and worked diligently to 
make his dream come true. Before his service in the House, Clel served 
with the Iowa State Patrol as a state trooper for 32 years. He has been 
an active figure in the fight for the second amendment in the Iowa 
House and has fought industriously against illegal drugs. Clel also was 
a major supporter of the state's natural resources during his time as a 
state representative. Clel has been married to Mary Carole for many 
years, and has four children and several grandchildren and great-
grandchildren that will keep him busy during his retirement years.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Representative Clel Baudler 
for this milestone, and thank him for providing leadership to the state 
of Iowa. I am proud to represent him in the United States Congress. I 
ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Clel and wishing him nothing but continued 
success.
