                     HONORING GREGORY JAMES CARNEY

  Mr. COATS. Mr. President, this week it was my pleasure to meet a 
remarkable young man from Indianapolis. Gregory James Carney came to 
Washington as part of the boy Scouts of America's ``Report to the 
Nation'' program. Greg is a Cub Scout, a member of Pack 110, and was 
selected for this prestigious honor because of an act of exceptional 
heroism.
  Last year, Greg was at his Indianapolis home with his sister when 
they encountered an intruder. As the Intruder Began to attack Greg, the 
young Scout fought back, striking the intruder and immobilizing him and 
thereby enabling Greg and his sister to escape. Mr. President, what 
makes this story most unusual is that Greg Carney was only 7 years old 
at the time.
  For his bravery and coolheadedness, Greg earned Scouting's Medal of 
Merit. And for his defense of his sister and his home, I am pleased to 
commend Greg in the Congressional Record as a most courageous young 
man. He is a credit to Indiana and an example to young people 
throughout the Nation.
