  Mr. LEWIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Keith Elliott 
Washington for accomplishing his goal of visiting all seven continents.
  I first met Keith a few years ago and he expressed his deep passion 
in politics and his interest in the needs of the American people.
  I applaud him on completing a mission which began 18 years ago, when 
he first visited Senegal in 1996. This was his first visit outside of 
North America.
  On February 2, 2010 at 12:00 p.m., Keith visited Antarctica and 
achieved his dream of visiting the last continent. I congratulate him 
for his determination to complete this personal milestone.
