            JIM VAN ENGELENHOVEN LEAVES A LEGACY OF SERVICE

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a 
man from my district whose legacy of serving his community will 
continue to resonate for generations.
  Last Monday, Jim Van Engelenhoven, a former Iowa State representative 
from Mahaska County, passed away.
  Jim began his career in public service by serving in Iowa's Air 
National Guard. In 1993, Jim was elected to Mahaska County's Board of 
Supervisors, where he served until 1998, and then began his run as an 
Iowa State representative.
  Jim was loved by many in the Mahaska County community and across the 
State of Iowa for his compassion and his willingness to go the extra 
mile to serve his community.
  My heart and prayers go out to Jim's wife, Carol; his son, Jeff; and 
the rest of his loved ones. May he rest in peace.
