                     RECOGNITION FOR BRIAN VAN ALLEN

                                 ______


                          HON. SANDER M. LEVIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I wish to extend my congratulations to a 
young man from Clawson, MI, on attaining the highest award in 
Scouting--the coveted Eagle Scout Award.
  Brian VanAllen, age 17, is the son of Ed and Gwen Robinson. He is a 
senior at Clawson High School, a member of the school track team and is 
currently studying computer assisted drafting.
  Only 2 percent of the young men in the Scouting program reach this 
level of achievement. Brian has demonstrated his abilities in the areas 
of leadership, communications, outdoorsmanship, teaching, as well as 
community and civic involvement.
  As part of a community service project, Brian organized fellow Scouts 
and adults to participate in a church revitalization project. After 120 
hours of work, the crew had prepared, cleaned, and painted the walls 
and ceiling of a central hallway at the Clawson United Methodist 
Church.
  As Brian receives this special award, I want to take this opportunity 
to highlight his contributions, not only to troop 1093, but to the 
community as a whole. I wish him many more years of service and good 
luck as he prepares to enter the U.S. Marine Corps this June.

                          ____________________
