                               RESOLUTION


 
  Recognizing and honoring Hunter Scott for his efforts to honor the 
 memory of the captain and crew of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS and for the 
   outstanding example he has set for the young people of the United 
                                States.

Whereas 12-year-old Hunter Scott of Cantonment, Florida, has received 
        international recognition for his efforts to honor the memory of the 
        captain and crew of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS, which sank in the Pacific 
        Ocean during the final days of World War II;
Whereas Hunter Scott has spent the past two years seeking recognition for the 
        crew of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS, many of whom perished as a result of 
        shark attacks and exposure after being stranded in the water for four 
        days;
Whereas Hunter Scott's extensive work is the subject of legislation before this 
        Congress, supported by Democrats and Republicans alike;
Whereas Hunter Scott's work ethic, love of country, and strength of character 
        serve as a shining example to the young people of the United States; and
Whereas Hunter Scott has helped the crew of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS receive 
        international recognition from the New York Times, USA Today, the 
        Associated Press, CBS, Nickelodeon, and other print and broadcast media: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes and honors 
Hunter Scott for his efforts to honor the memory of the captain and 
crew of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS and for the outstanding example he has 
set for the young people of the United States.
