                      CONGRATULATING BOB OSTERHAUS

  (Mr. BRALEY of Iowa asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I take a moment to honor and 
congratulate a constituent and personal friend, Bob Osterhaus. Bob is 
being recognized by the University of Iowa with an Honorary Doctor of 
Science degree for his service to our State and his work with the 
University of Iowa pharmacy program.
  Bob has spent his entire life serving other people. After he finished 
his education at the University of Iowa, he served in the United States 
Army and later served in the Iowa House of Representatives, 
contributing his perspective as a health care professional in shaping 
legislative initiatives like the HAWK-I insurance plan for children 
from low-income families.
  He has served his community of Maquoketa, Iowa, in many ways. 
Osterhaus Pharmacy is a staple in the community, and he is active with 
the Maquoketa Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Sacred Heart Church, 
and the Knights of Columbus. He was cofounder of the Maquoketa Area 
Community Foundation and served as its chairman for 7 years.
  Tomorrow, Bob will receive his Honorary Doctor of Science degree. The 
university could not have made a better selection, and I congratulate 
Bob for his outstanding service to Iowa, the pharmacy profession, and 
his country.
