                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 19, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Ruth Sump of Clarinda, Iowa on the occasion of her 101st 
birthday. Ruth was born on March 1, 1916.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Ruth's life. 
Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on the 
moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones and the 
internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Ruth has 
lived through eighteen United States Presidents and twenty-two 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Ruth in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 101st birthday. 
I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Ruth on reaching this incredible milestone, 
and in wishing her nothing but the best.
