                         RECOGNIZING IOWA STAFF

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I would like to recognize what my staff 
in Iowa does because I can't be in Iowa all the time. I am in 
Washington, DC, for long periods of time.
  This is my 40th year holding Q&A in each of Iowa's 99 counties. My 
regional staff is also committed to holding meetings across Iowa. My 
Iowa staff serves as my eyes and ears when I am working in Washington, 
DC. That is why they host mobile office hours in every county and 
attended roughly 1,400 meetings across the State last year.
  My regional directors tour hospitals, businesses, and childcare 
centers. They meet with disaster victims, government officials, and 
senior citizens. They attend ribbon cuttings, community forums, and 
legislative discussions.
  Serving Iowans is my top priority. I urge Iowans to contact any of my 
six offices across the State if I can be of assistance on Federal 
matters.
  I yield the floor.
