             CONGRATULATIONS TO EAGLE SCOUT PAUL C. STENGER

                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to recognize 
Paul C. Stenger on his accomplishment of earning the rank of Eagle 
Scout. This is a substantial achievement as only 2 percent of all 
Scouts attain the Eagle rank.
  Paul Stenger began his Scouting odyssey in 1983 as a Tiger Scout. 
Paul earned the Arrow of Light and rank of Weblo in 1987.
  In 1988, Paul joined Boy Scout Troop No. 483, sponsored by St. 
Dominic Church. He has earned 33 merit badges and has performed the 
requisite Eagle Scout community service project. The project involved 
the construction of custom designed flower boxes at the Home for 
Developmentally Disabled. The boxes were designed to stand up off the 
ground so that individuals in wheelchairs could maneuver their chairs 
underneath the boxes. While blazing the trail to Eagle Scout, Paul held 
leadership positions such as assistant patrol leader, quartermaster, 
and patrol leader.
  Paul has also been quite active outside of Scouting. He is a senior 
at Elder High School, where he has taken advanced placement classes. 
While at Elder, Paul has been a member of the Glee Club and Ensemble. 
He has been a valued member of the junior varsity soccer team, and the 
varsity track and field team. Paul has also volunteered his time for 
food drives, reconstruction of dilapidated housing for the poor, and 
tutoring students at Holy Family School.
  I extend my heartiest congratulations to Paul who should be 
justifiably proud of his accomplishments. I also extend my 
congratulations to his parents, David and Mary Stenger, and his Scout 
leaders whose support and encouragement helped make his goal a reality.
