                 TRIBUTE TO EAGLE SCOUT JASON L. NASIMO

                                 ______


                        HON. THOMAS M. FOGLIETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 1, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise on this occasion to recognize Boy 
Scout Troop 128 of Chester, PA, and to salute Jason L. Nasimo who, on 
February 13, 1994, received his Eagle Award from the Valley Forge 
Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
  It is not every young American who joins the Boy Scouts that earns 
the Eagle Award. To earn this honor, a Scout must fulfill requirements 
in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. He must earn 
21 merit badges, 11 of which are required from areas such as 
citizenship in the community, citizenship in the Nation, and 
citizenship in the world, as well as safety, environmental science, and 
first aid. As a Scout progresses through the ranks, he must demonstrate 
increasingly greater responsibility in his service projects while also 
demonstrating leadership skills by taking on one or more leadership 
positions in his patrol or troop.
  Jason has distinguished himself by his service to those around him. 
Through his practice of leadership, self discipline, honor, and loyalty 
to community and country, he has earned his way to the top 2.5 percent 
of all Boy Scouts--those who earn the Eagle Scout Award.
  Troop 128 is a morally courageous group of young men, who represent 
the city of Chester in the selfless manner expected of the Boy Scouts 
of America. Now, more than ever, the young people who participate in 
such a worthwhile activity should be commended. I join with the 
community of Chester in recognizing the fine work completed by Troop 
128 and in congratulating Jason on his great achievement.
