              CONGRATULATIONS TO EAGLE SCOUT JAMIE OETERS

                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 23, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to recognize 
Jamie Oeters on his accomplishment of earning the rank of Eagle Scout. 
This is a substantial achievement demonstrating Jamie's perseverance, 
as only 2 percent of all Scouts ever attain the Eagle rank.
  Jamie Oeters began his Scouting odyssey in 1983 as a Cub Scout in 
Pack 275. Jamie earned the ranks of Bobcat, Wolf and Bear, 12 activity 
badges, and the Arrow of Light.
  In 1986, Jamie joined Boy Scout Troop 880, sponsored by Heritage 
United Methodist Church. In 1993, he completed his Eagle Scout 
requirements. His community service project involved the installation 
of a new sign for Mt. Healthy South Junior High School, including 
suitable landscaping.
  While blazing the trail to Eagle Scout, Jamie held several leadership 
positions, starting with patrol leader and culminating with Junior 
Assistant Scoutmaster. Furthermore, Jamie was a member of the honor 
corps and attended a high adventure trip to Ely, MN.
  Jamie Oeters also has been quite active outside of Scouting. He is a 
senior at Mt. Healthy High School where he has demonstrated that he is 
mentally awake as a member of the National Honor Society. Jamie has 
proven himself physically fit, as a member of the varsity soccer and 
baseball teams and a lifter for the cheerleaders. In addition, he is a 
member of the marching and concert bands.
  I extend my heartiest congratulations to Jamie who should be 
justifiably proud of his accomplishments. I also extend my 
congratulations to his parents, Gary and Donna Oeters, and his adult 
Scout leaders whose support and encouragement helped make his goal a 
reality.
