                        RECOGNIZING ALEX GOGLIA

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing 
young man and Scout in my community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Alex 
Goglia. After completing his Arrow of Light Award in Pack 1 of the 
Scouts, Alex crossed over into Scouts BSA Troop 1 in Sellersville.
  Since then, Alex has moved up through the ranks of Scouting and 
recently became a Life Scout. As a member of Troop 1, Alex has held 
several leadership positions, including assistant patrol leader, patrol 
leader, and now senior patrol leader. His leadership through the ranks 
sets an excellent example for the younger Scouts to follow.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize Alex Goglia before this 
Congress as an individual who lives the words of the Scout Oath and Law 
in his everyday life and is steadfast in his commitment to better our 
community back home in Pennsylvania.
  Madam Speaker, recently, in the midst of an emergency medical 
situation, Alex used his lifesaving skills he learned in Scouting to 
save the life of a young child who was choking on a piece of food in a 
restaurant where Alex was employed.
  Alex's calm, quick, and heroic response was recognized by the 
National Boy Scouts of America, which awarded him the BSA Medal of 
Merit, a rare award offered by the Scouts.
  We are incredibly grateful for Alex Goglia's meritorious acts and for 
the positive impact that he has had within Scout Troop 1 and our entire 
community.
  Madam Speaker, we wish Alex much success as he pursues the rank of 
Eagle Scout, and for all his other future endeavors.
  Well done, Alex.
