                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ron Rasmussen 
for being the recipient of the Youth Champion Award at the 2010 
Humboldt County Spirit Awards.
  The Humboldt County Spirit Awards were established to recognize and 
honor outstanding groups and individuals who have worked for the 
benefit of all citizens of Humboldt County, to celebrate the 
accomplishments and activities of our communities, to acknowledge the 
value of volunteerism in the county, and to have a positive impact on 
community spirit.
  Annually included in the Spirit Awards, the Youth Champion Award is 
presented to an adult individual who has generously given time, talent 
and energy to promote activities for youth in the community.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to represent Ron Rasmussen in the United 
States Congress. I know that my colleagues join me in commending him 
for his sincere dedication to establishing a better community and wish 
him continued success well into the future.
