                          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 Redford, MI, on attaining the highest award in 
Scouting--the coveted Eagle Scout Award.
  Jason A. Firby is a high school graduate now working as an 
electrician's apprentice. In high school Jason earned varsity letters 
in football, wrestling, and track. His career in Scouting began in 1985 
when he first joined Troop 435 at Jane Addams School in Redford where 
he held leadership positions as a Quartermaster, Patrol Leader, and 
Assistant Patrol Leader. Jason has been awarded a National Certificate 
of Merit for his part in the rescue of a canoe accident victim.
  This young man has organized a group of volunteers to repair the 
walls and paint several rooms at the Southfield Community Church as 
part of his Eagle Service Project.
  Throughout his Scouting career he has demonstrated great abilities in 
leadership, outdoorsmanship, community, and civic involvement. Jason 
Firby has clearly made a great contribution, not only to Troop 435, but 
to the community as a whole.
  As Jason receives this special award, I want to take this opportunity 
to highlight his accomplishments and wish him many more years of 
service and good luck as he prepares to pursue a degree in electronics.
