             CONGRATULATIONS TO ROBERT PARMACH, EAGLE SCOUT

                                 ______


                         HON. THOMAS J. MANTON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 18, 1994

  Mr. MANTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 18-year-old 
Robert Parmach for acquiring the highest honor of scouting, becoming an 
Eagle Scout. He will be recognized for this important achievement on 
March 20, 1994 at 3 p.m. in Jackson Heights, NY, in the Seventh 
Congressional District which I represent.
  Robert has been involved in a number of activities which have enabled 
him to acquire this honor. These include being captain of the cross-
country track team, a member of the indoor track team, the outdoor 
track team, student government, and a worker at the bookstore. He also 
was a member of the JROTC program in which he held the prominent 
position of lt. colonel and he received the distinguished cadet award. 
He wrote for the Science Journal and the Science Olympiad. Robert also 
was a member of the National Honor Society and a math tutor.
  Mr. Speaker, Robert has been active in many areas outside of scouting 
and school. He was a church lector at Our Lady of Fatima Church as well 
as an active volunteer at the Mary Manning Walsh Home for the Aged in 
New York City. Finally, Robert has worked toward his goal of one day 
becoming a doctor by actively volunteering and serving as a patient 
representative at the New York University Medical Center in Manhattan.
  Mr. Speaker, Robert is a role model for all young people and 
epitomizes leadership and loyalty not only in his scouting activities, 
but at his church, school, and with his family as well. I know my 
colleagues join me in congratulating Robert on this very special day.
