                         Monday, April 18, 1994

  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, May 13, 1994, North 
Miami's Boy Scout Troop 39 will celebrate its 39th anniversary.
  Founded in 1955, and originally meeting in the old north Miami 
firehouse, Troop 39 has been a guiding force behind generations of 
Scouts in the north Dade area. Presently under the leadership of 
Scoutmaster Joe Alterman, Troop 39 continues to serve the community in 
a variety of ways. They have sponsored a breakfast for local war 
veterans and coordinated an Easter egg hunt in a local park.
  Troop 39's May 13 celebration will serve as a homecoming for past 
Scouts and leaders. As they gather on this important occasion, I want 
to join with our community in honoring the past and present members of 
Boy Scout Troop 39 and their sponsor, the North Miami Elks Lodge 1835. 
Their efforts on behalf of the community set a high standard of 
service. I know they will continue their outstanding work well into the 
next century.
