                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 21, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Brooklyn Sammons of Orient-Macksburg High School. Brooklyn 
was recently honored for outstanding academic achievement at the 
Sixteenth Annual Governor's Scholar Recognition on April 29, 2018.
  This statewide program is sponsored by the Iowa Governor's Office, 
the Iowa High School Athletic Association and the Iowa Farm Bureau. 
Each Iowa High School was invited to select a senior with the highest 
academic ranking. Not only are they academically gifted, but the 
selected students are often the youth who are successful in extra-
curricular activities and community endeavors.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a profound honor to represent leaders like 
Brooklyn Sammons in the United States Congress and it is with great 
pride that I recognize and applaud her for utilizing her talents to 
reach her goals. I invite my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating Brooklyn on receiving this 
esteemed designation, and wishing her the best of luck in all her 
future endeavors.

                          ____________________
