                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 18, 1994

  Mr. MANTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Alex Padilla on 
achieving the highest honor in Scouting, becoming an Eagle Scout. This 
honor will take place on Friday, June 3, 1994 at Cathedral Preparatory 
Seminary in Elmhurst, Queens located in the Seventh District of New 
York, which I have the pleasure of representing.
  Alex has worked diligently toward achieving this goal along with 
merit medals Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII in the Catholic Committee. 
He also is an integral part of the Suanhacky Lodge of the Order of the 
Arrow.
  Mr. Speaker, for his Eagle Project, Alex built three toy like walking 
carts which are used daily by children with disabilities. They were 
donated to Stepping Stone Day School Inc. Alex is a sophomore at 
Cathedral Preparatory Seminary where his ceremony will be taking place.
  Mr. Speaker, Alex illustrates leadership and loyalty not only to his 
country and scouting community, but his school and church as well. I 
know my colleagues join me in congratulating Alex on this very special 
day.
