  RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF TED ROWSE ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 
                             100TH BIRTHDAY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JAMIE RASKIN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 12, 2020

  Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ted Rowse, a 
wonderful constituent who just celebrated his 100th birthday. Mr. Rowse 
has honorably served our country in battle and as a public-spirited 
journalist, and he has been a popular member of the Chevy Chase 
community for over 45 years. This past Saturday, I was touched to join 
his loving friends and family who organized a drive-by parade of cars 
to celebrate Ted's 100th birthday in a safe and festive way.
  Ted left college in 1942 to enlist in the Army. During WWII, he 
served in North Africa and Italy and was awarded 4 battle stars for his 
courageous service. Following the war, Ted returned to education and 
received his MBA from Harvard Business School.
  Ted led a fascinating career as a journalist, beginning at the Boston 
Globe before eventually moving to Washington to work as an assistant 
city editor of the Washington Post in 1960. He went on to serve in the 
Johnson White House on programs to help consumers. His distinguished 
career culminated in his generous creation of the Arthur Rowse Award 
for Press Criticism.

  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize the important 
accomplishments of my distinguished constituent, Ted Rowse, and hope 
this chamber will join me in wishing him a very happy 100th birthday.
