  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Johnston Little League Baseball World Series Team for 
winning the Midwest Regional Little League Championships. This team, 
comprised of 14 young men, was also one of only eight teams to 
represent the United States in the Little League World Series and 
performed admirably. They placed fourth in the United States and 7th 
place in the world.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by these young men and their coaches 
demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I 
am honored to represent them and their families in the United States 
Congress. I know all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating these young people for 
competing in this rigorous competition and wishing them all nothing but 
continued success.
