                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 16, 2000

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, today I pay special tribute to an 
outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. I am 
happy to announce that Nathan J. Nahm of Tiffin, Ohio, has been offered 
an appointment to attend the United States Military Academy at West 
Point, New York.
  Mr. Speaker, Nathan's offer of appointment poises him to attend the 
United States Military Academy this fall with the incoming cadet class 
of 2004. Attending one of our nation's military academies is an 
invaluable experience that offers a world-class education and demands 
the very best that these young men and women have to offer. Truly, it 
is one of the most challenging and rewarding undertaking of their 
lives.
  Nathan brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and 
dedication to the incoming class of West Point cadets. While attending 
Columbian High School in Tiffin, Nathan has attained a grade point 
average of 3.64, which places him twenty-first in his class of two 
hundred sixty-nine students. Nathan is a member of the National Honor 
Society, Honor Roll, Who's Who Among American High School Students, and 
has earned several Scholar-Athlete awards.
  Outside the classroom, Nathan has distinguished himself as an 
excellent student-athlete. On the fields of competition, Nathan has 
earned letters in Varsity Football and Basketball. Nathan was named 
Captain of the Tiffin Columbian Varsity Basketball team this year. 
Nathan has also been active in the Tiffin Columbian Boosters Club and 
the Technology Advisory Council.
  West Point has become a home away from home for the Nahm family. With 
Nathan's appointment, he stands ready to walk the same path as his two 
older brothers, Blair and Reed, as a West Point cadet.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleagues to stand and join me in paying 
special tribute to Nathan J. Nahm. Our service academies offer the 
finest education and military training available anywhere in the world. 
I am sure that Nathan will do very well during his career at West Point 
and I wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors.
