        HONORING MATT KIEHL ON ACHIEVING THE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ERIC CANTOR

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2005

  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Matt Kiehl, a 
constituent who at the age of 17 has been awarded the rank of Eagle 
Scout. Matt has been involved in scouting since the age of seven when 
he started as a Tiger Cub. For the last 10 years, he has worked toward 
this goal which culminated in his Eagle Scout project to construct a 
prayer path at the Shalom House in Montpelier, Virginia. He, along with 
about 25 volunteers, completed the project this past December 18.
  Matt is an exceptional student at the Maggie Walker Governor's 
School. Next year, he will join the ``We the People'' Team. This 
nationwide competition is based on students' knowledge and 
understanding of the Constitution. He also finished second in the 
National Catholic Forensic League state competition this year and will 
compete at the national competition.
  Mr. Speaker, I join the Kiehl family--his father, Mark; mother, 
Leslie; and his sisters Jennifer and Stephanie--in honoring and 
recognizing the remarkable achievements of Matt. I am confident we will 
hear great things from him in the future.
