 RECOGNIZING RECIPIENT OF THE GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD FROM THE STATE OF 
                                MARYLAND

 Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, each year an elite group of young 
women rise above the ranks of their peers and confront the challenge of 
attaining the Girl Scouts of the United States of America's highest 
rank in scouting, the Girl Scout Gold Award.
  It is with great pleasure that I recognize and applaud Kerri 
Marsteller of Monkton, MD, who is one of this year's recipients of this 
most prestigious and time honored award.
  Kerri is to be commended on her extraordinary commitment and 
dedication to her family, friends, community, and to the Girl Scouts of 
the United States of America.
  The qualities of character, perseverance, and leadership which 
enabled her to reach this goal will also help her to meet the 
challenges of the future. She is our inspiration for today and our 
promise for tomorrow.
  I am honored to ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Kerri 
Marsteller. She is one of the best and the brightest and serves as an 
example of character and moral strength for us all to imitate and 
follow.
  Finally, I wish to salute the families and Scout leaders who have 
provided Kerri and other young women with continued support and 
encouragement.
  It is with great pride that I congratulate Kerri Marsteller on this 
achievement.
