                    HONORING EAGLE SCOUT DREW MONSON

                                 ______


                             HON. ED PASTOR

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 1995
  Mr. PASTOR. Mr. Speaker, I want to call attention today to a major 
milestone and achievement of a most accomplished young man.
  This coming Sunday, in Tucson, AZ, Drew Monson will be awarded the 
rank of Eagle Scout. This is a level of achievement attained by only 
2\1/2\ percent of all Boy Scouts. Drew joins the ranks of approximately 
1 million others who, since 1911, have achieved this goal.
  As his final project toward becoming an Eagle Scout, Drew spent more 
than 150 hours planning and directing 17 different volunteers in the 
construction of a nature trail at the Saguaro National Park in Tucson.
  This is not Drew's only accomplishment. He will soon begin his senior 
year as an honor student at Salpointe High School in Tucson, AZ. In 
addition, he has earned six varsity letters in track and field and 
cross country running. He is also a skilled musician, specializing in 
piano. Complementing his other activities, he also participates in the 
activities of his Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
  Drew Monson exemplifies the hopes and dreams that we hold for all of 
our youth. I am proud to add my voice to so many others in commending 
Drew for his attainment of the Eagle Scout rank. I wish Drew the best 
of luck in all to which he aspires.
