  Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish David City, Nebraska a 
very happy 150th birthday.
  August 6, 1873 marks the day David City was made the county seat of 
Butler County.
  Since 1873, David City has grown and distinguished itself in many 
ways. Providing an excellent quality of life for their small town with 
exceptional education and job opportunities.
  While David City is home to just about 3,000, it's the birthplace of 
notable people--like former U.S. Senator Roman Hruska; the founder of 
Hallmark cards, Joyce Hall; and Catholic Bishop Kenneth Steiner.
  Major employers in the City include Timpte, ADM, and David City 
Public Schools among others.
  David City is proud of its Catholic roots. Aquinas Catholic Schools 
educates many of the town's people and St. Mary's Church is almost as 
old as the town itself.
  As David City reaches this sesquicentennial birthday, there is much 
to celebrate.
  On behalf of the people of Nebraska's First Congressional District, I 
congratulate David City on 150 years and wish them fun as they 
celebrate this incredible milestone.
