                 CONGRATULATING PHIL GARVER OF LIMA, OH

                                 ______


                         HON. MICHAEL G. OXLEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 1994

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, today, I congratulate 13-year-old Phil 
Garver, of Lima, OH, who recently received a National Medal of Merit 
from the National Office of the Boy Scouts of America. He is the son of 
Mike and Marcia Garver.
  More important than the award, however, is what Phil did to receive 
this recognition. In June of 1992, he rescued a 4-year-old girl who had 
accidentally fallen into a lake in Arlington, OH. She was fortunate to 
have a hero nearby.
  Phil is a member of Boy Scout Troop 106 in Lima and received his 
award from the Black Swamp Area Boy Scout Council. Only 1 percent of 
all Boy Scouts qualify for this recognition.
  My best wishes to Phil Garver and his family on the occasion of this 
important recognition.
