                       CONGRATULATING DAN HOUSTON

  (Mr. Feenstra of Iowa was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. FEENSTRA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my friend and 
fellow Iowan, Dan Houston, on his retirement from Principal Financial 
Group after 41 years of service.
  From starting his first job with Principal in 1984 to eventually 
becoming chairman, president, and CEO, Dan exemplifies the power of 
hard work and dedication. His decisions have helped more families 
achieve financial security and plan for tomorrow.
  Dan has also committed himself and Principal Financial to 
philanthropic causes in Des Moines and across the State of Iowa.
  Under his leadership, Principal donated generously to United Way and 
the annual Principal charity golf classic which raised millions of 
dollars for Iowa youth. The Principal Foundation awards grants to 
worthy causes including disaster recovery, affordable housing, and 
small business development.
  Dan has always prioritized the people whom Principal Financial 
serves, putting families and our communities first.
  In his retirement, Dan will have more time to focus on the things 
that truly matter most: spending time with his wife, Joanie, his 
children, and his grandchildren, and devoting his talents to causes and 
organizations near and dear to his heart.
  I thank Dan for his incredible contributions to Iowa and wish him and 
his family the very best in his next chapter of life.
