                         HON. THOMAS J. MANTON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 18, 1994

  Mr. MANTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ricardo G. 
Mistades, Jr., of Jackson Heights, NY, for achieving the highest honor 
in scouting, becoming an Eagle Scout. Ricardo resides in the Seventh 
Congressional District of New York, which I represent.
  To become an Eagle Scout, one must fulfill a number of challenging 
requirements. These include: Earning 21 merit badges and displaying 
leadership qualities in school, scouting, and the community. Mr. 
Speaker, Ricardo has demonstrated his outstanding leadership skills in 
all three of these areas.
  Ricardo graduated from Archibishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, 
NY, in June 1993. While at Archbishop Molloy High School, Ricardo 
participated in a variety of clubs and was also selected as a member of 
the Spanish Honor Society and the National Honor Society. He achieved 
first honors all 4 years of high school. During his summers, Ricardo 
worked as a part-time receptionist at Our Lady of Fatima Rectory. He 
also sang in the Our Lady of Fatima Choir and served in the Big Brother 
program.
  Currently, Ricardo is in his freshman year at New York University 
[NYU] pursuing a bachelor of science degree in nursing. After his first 
semester at NYU, Ricardo was chosen for NUY's dean's list.
  Mr. Speaker, Ricardo has demonstrated all the qualities necessary not 
only to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, but to be recognized as a true 
community leader. He will be inducted as an Eagle Scout this Sunday, 
March 20, 1994. I know my colleagues will join me congratulating 
Ricardo for receiving this prestigious honor.
