                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 25, 2003

  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Christopher Balogh 
of Jupiter, FL, for receiving the Congressional Award Gold Medal. It is 
my pleasure to congratulate this fine young resident of the 22nd 
Congressional District of Florida who has been incredibly dedicated to 
the betterment of not only his community but himself.
  Mr. Speaker, the Congressional Award Gold Medal requires more than 3 
years to complete a minimum of 800 hours of community service, 200 
hours in both personal development and physical fitness, in addition to 
a total of four nights of expedition/exploration. These are cumulative 
hours as Christopher has previously earned the Bronze and Silver 
Medals. I applaud his hard work and dedication.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to again congratulate Christopher Balogh of 
my district who is being presented with the Congressional Award Gold 
Medal today. The outstanding work done by this dedicated young man has 
been truly influential in his community, and I congratulate him as he 
is recognized among the Nation's most outstanding young people.
