  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ms. Phyllis O'Brien on the occasion of her 90th birthday. 
Ms. O'Brien shares her birthday with her twin brother, Philip. They 
both reside in Adair, Iowa.
  Our world has changed a great deal during Phyllis' 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. Phyllis has lived through 
eighteen United States Presidents and twenty-two Governors of Iowa. In 
her lifetime, the population of the United States has more than 
tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Phyllis in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 90th

join me in congratulating Phyllis O'Brien on reaching this incredible 
milestone, and wishing her even more health and happiness in the years 
to come.
