                        Friday, October 9, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and 
congratulate James Paul of Hastings, Iowa, for being inducted into the 
Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the Iowa State Fair. 
Inductees to the Hall of Fame have demonstrated dedication, 
encouragement, commitment, and guidance to Iowa's 4-H students through 
the years.
  James has been providing guidance and encouragement for youth for the 
past 30 years. He has organized workshops and challenges that motivate 
the youth to experiment in growing a variety of crops and produce. 
James has assisted over 1,000 youth and adults in developing skills in 
gardening. He is a farmer in Mills County with his wife, Harva. They 
have three children who were all active 4-H members.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate James Paul for earning this 
award. He is a shining example of how hard work and dedication can have 
a positive impact on the future of our youth. I urge my colleagues in 
the United States House of Representatives to join me in congratulating 
James for his accomplishments within the 4-H community. I wish him 
nothing but continued success moving forward.
