  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 
accomplishments of Kyle Rogachenko, a 14-year-old whose commitment, 
discipline, and motivation have made him a well-known competitor in the 
upper echelons of the international sailing community.
  Mr. Rogachenko, a 9th grader at Methacton High School in Worcester, 
Pennsylvania, began his sailing career at age 6 at the Toms River Yacht 
Club in New Jersey. Included on his sailing resume are his 
participation on two World Teams, three South American Teams, and three 
North American Teams. Additionally, he was the top American finisher at 
the 40th

annual IOCA World Championship regatta in 2001. For his age group, Mr. 
Rogachenko is the top young sailor in the United States.
  Throughout the past few years, Mr. Rogachenko has had an extensive 
travel schedule that has provided him with many rewarding experiences. 
He has continually displayed all of the attributes of a true leader. I 
am proud that this young man hopes to attend the United States Naval 
Academy upon his completion of high school.
  It is a privilege to recognize such a fine young man. I ask you and 
my other distinguished colleagues to join me in commending 
Pennsylvania's own, Kyle Rogachenko.
