                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 14, 2003

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 
accomplishments of Kyle Rogachenko, a 14-year-old whose commitment, 
discipline, and motivation have made him a well-known competitor in the 
upper echelons of the international sailing community.
  Mr. Rogachenko, a 9th grader at Methacton High School in Worcester, 
Pennsylvania, began his sailing career at age 6 at the Toms River Yacht 
Club in New Jersey. Included on his sailing resume are his 
participation on two World Teams, three South American Teams, and three 
North American Teams. Additionally, he was the top American finisher at 
the 40th annual IOCA World Championship regatta in 2001. For his age 
group, Mr. Rogachenko is the top young sailor in the United States.
  Throughout the past few years, Mr. Rogachenko has had an extensive 
travel schedule that has provided him with many rewarding experiences. 
He has continually displayed all of the attributes of a true leader. I 
am proud that this young man hopes to attend the United States Naval 
Academy upon his completion of high school.
  It is a privilege to recognize such a fine young man. I ask you and 
my other distinguished colleagues to join me in commending 
Pennsylvania's own, Kyle Rogachenko.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Thursday, May 15, 2003 may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
