                          Friday, May 25, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mr. Philip Fagan on the occasion of his 90th birthday. Mr. 
Fagan shares his birthday with his twin sister, Phyllis. They both 
reside in Adair, Iowa.
  Our world has changed a great deal during Philip'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. Philip has lived through 
eighteen United States Presidents and twenty-two Governors of Iowa. In 
his lifetime, the population of the United States has more than 
tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Mr. Fagan in the United 
States Congress and it is my pleasure to wish him a very happy 90th 
birthday. I invite my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating Philip Fagan on reaching this incredible 
milestone, and wishing him even more health and happiness in the years 
to come.
