                         Tuesday, May 11, 1999

  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, I am here to recognize and honor Scout 
William Goltz of North Wales, PA. He is the recipient of the 1999 Boy 
Scout Heroism Award. This award recognizes a Scout for showing skill 
and heroism for saving or attempting to save a life.
  Last year, Scout William Goltz was the first at the scene where a man 
had a heart attack. Without hesitation he began CPR, which he performed 
tirelessly until paramedics arrived. CPR continued in the ambulance. In 
spite of Scout Goltz's efforts, the man later died. William 
instinctively took charge of the situation and followed his training, 
but the damage to the stranger's heart was too severe. It should be 
noted that Scout Goltz was 15 at the time.
  I am proud to recognize Mr. William Goltz.
