                       RECOGNITION OF FRANK SOFO

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 1994

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, one of the pleasures of serving in this 
legislative body is the opportunity we occasionally get to acknowledge 
publicly the outstanding citizens of our Nation.
  I rise today to honor Frank Sofo for his over 50 years of dedication 
to Scouting. He has spent a significant portion of his life preparing 
young people to become the future leaders and citizens of this Nation. 
He has helped countless young men achieve their personal Scouting goals 
and has been an all around friend, confident and mentor to innumerable 
others who have been helped on their way to Eagle Scout. The example of 
his high standard of commitment to community service and the youth of 
this Nation is an inspiration to us all.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to ask my colleagues in 
the U.S. House of Representatives to join me in wishing Mr. Sofo all 
the best and commending him for his tireless leadership. If Mr. Sofo is 
any indication of the caliber of the individuals produced by Scouting, 
there can be no doubt as to the kind of future that lays ahead for this 
Nation's youth.
