  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Fremont 
County Extension for 100 years of service to Fremont

[[Page E744]]

County, Iowa. The 100th anniversary is a testament to the great work 
that is performed every day by the staff at the Fremont County 
Extension.
  Established 100 years ago in 1918, the Fremont County Extension hired 
its first extension agent that year after the Iowa State Legislature 
passed the Extension Act. The Extension agency provides needed 
research-based information to Fremont County. The services include 4-H 
youth programs, agriculture and natural resources research and 
assistance, human sciences, and community economic development. Mandy 
Maher, Program Coordinator for the Iowa State University Extension and 
Outreach-Fremont County said, ``One hundred years ago, Fremont County 
Extension was organized, and the mission then was and is similar to 
what it is today, to provide education and build partnerships designed 
to solve today's issues and prepare for the future.''
  Mr. Speaker, I commend the Fremont County Extension and its staff for 
providing dedicated, committed, and crucial services to families and 
individuals every day. I urge my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating Fremont County Extension 
for achieving 100 years of service. I wish the Fremont County Extension 
and all of the staff continued success in the future.
