  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the achievements of 
Joetta Redlin. Joetta is the Winneshiek Medical Center's director of 
Nutrition Services. She is also a 35 year member and the current 
association president of the Iowa Dietetic Association.
  Joetta has received the Annual Medallion Award, the highest 
achievement award offered by the Iowa Dietetic Association. She has 
demonstrated leadership above and beyond job requirements, and has made 
excellent contributions to the dietetic profession.
  Redlin is also the first renal dietitian specializing in kidney 
disorders, marking her as an expert. She has mentored hundreds of 
students through the University of Iowa Dietetic mentoring program and 
has published numerous articles on renal nutrition.
  I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
congratulating Joetta Redlin for her outstanding achievements. I 
consider it an honor to represent Joetta in Congress, and wish her the 
best in the future.
