               CONGRATULATING EAGLE SCOUT NATHAN MATTIAS

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to 
congratulate Nathan Mattias of Woolwich Township in south Jersey. He 
achieved the honor of being an Eagle Scout.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Nathan built benches with an improved 
design to accommodate those in wheelchairs for easier access when 
gardening for the Sisters of St. Francis, a retirement facility for 
nuns in the Philadelphia area.
  Through this project, Nathan discovered his passion of engineering 
and plans on continuing his interest when he is in college. It is 
people like Nathan who enact change by listening to the needs of those 
in our local communities.
  Keep up the good work, Nathan. I thank him for all he does for south 
Jersey, and for the United States of America. He is truly our hero and 
we are truly proud of him.
