                        EAGLE SCOUT CODY MOHREY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember 
and honor Cody Mohrey from Forest County in northwestern Pennsylvania.
  Cody was a remarkable young man who worked hard, was very dedicated 
to scouting, and strived to help others whenever possible. Among his 
many accomplishments was his recent attainment of the prestigious rank 
of Eagle Scout in Troop 82 of Tionesta. Cody tragically lost his life 
in a motor vehicle accident on June 6, 2013, along with two friends of 
his, Cody Master and Thomas Phelps.
  An extremely motivated individual, Cody also bore great leadership 
qualities and had a tremendously positive influence on the lives of 
others. Cody exemplified the scouting principles of service to others. 
His scout master, Rick Witherell, noted that Cody ``had a serving 
spirit and clear ideas for a life built around helping others.''
  Today I'm proud to recognize him as a brother Eagle Scout.
  Madam Speaker, evidently, God has an immediate need for Cody's 
services. Though he was called home at such a young age, he remains 
with us.
