                            HON. JOHN BRYANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 17, 1994

  Mr. BRYANT. Mr. Speaker, last evening, Charles Wesley Wells received 
the highest award of the Boy Scouts of America when he was awarded the 
rank of Eagle at his Eagle Scout Award Ceremony in Burke, VA.
  This exemplary young man is the son of Col. Peter Wells and Karen 
Wells. Though born in Germany while his father was on active duty with 
the United States Army there, he is an All-American kid who has grown 
up in Virginia and Texas where he learned persistence, dedication, and 
the value of hard work.
  A weight-lifter, outdoorsman, fisherman, and automobile enthusiast, 
he is a senior at Lake Braddock Secondary School and a member of 
Messiah United Methodist Church. His determination to succeed has kept 
him in pursuit of his goal of an Eagle badge for 7 years, as he 
achieved rank after rank in the Scout program.
  Charlie, as we all know him, concluded his quest for the rank of 
Eagle with an outstanding Eagle project on ecology involving labeling 
storm drains in the Kings Park neighborhood of Fairfax County. After 
receiving approval for the project from the State of Virginia, the 
project required Charlie to work for 8 months before it was finally 
completed.
  On behalf of myself and of the American people I offer today our 
congratulations and express our great admiration as the rank of Eagle 
is awarded to an outstanding young American, Charles Wells.
