                        TRIBUTE TO DAVID PEDROSO

                                 ______


                             HON. JACK REED

                              rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 3, 1994

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute a distinguished young 
man from Rhode Island who has attained the rank of Eagle Scout in the 
Boy Scouts of America. He is David Pedroso of Troop 22 in Johnston, RI, 
and he is honored this week for his noteworthy achievement.
  Not every young American who joins the Boy Scouts earns the 
prestigious Eagle Scout Award. In fact, only 2.5 percent of all Boy 
Scouts do. To earn the award, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in 
the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. He must earn 21 
merit badges, 11 of which are required from areas such as Citizenship 
in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, 
Safety, Environmental Science, and First Aid.
  As he progresses through the Boy Scout ranks, a scout must 
demonstrate participation in increasingly more responsible service 
projects. He must also demonstrate leadership skills by holding one or 
more specific youth leadership positions in his patrol and/or troop. 
This young man has distinguished himself in accordance with these 
criteria.
  For his Eagle Scout project, David cleared the East Greenwich Fire 
Department training field of debris and litter.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in saluting Eagle 
Scout David Pedroso. In turn, we must duly recognize the Boy Scouts of 
America for establishing the Eagle Scout Award and the strenuous 
criteria its aspirants must meet. This program has through its 84 years 
honed and enhanced the leadership skills and commitment to public 
service of many outstanding Americans, two dozen of whom now serve in 
the House.
  It is my sincere belief that David Pedroso will continue his public 
service and in so doing will further distinguished himself and 
consequently better his community. I join friends, colleagues, and 
family who this week salute him.
  


                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Tuesday, October 4, 1994, may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
