                       TRIBUTE TO STEVEN BENTLEY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT A. WEYGAND

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 8, 1997

  Mr. WEYGAND. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to pay tribute 
to an exceptional young man, Mr. Steven Bentley, who has devoted much 
hard-earned effort to achieving the Boy Scout's highest rank of Eagle 
Scout. This award reflects great initiative, determination, and hard 
work.
  Steven received his Eagle Scout badge by completing sorely needed 
renovations to Old St. Mary's Church hall, one of the oldest Roman 
Catholic churches in Rhode Island.
  Steven is an example of the best of America's youth, those dedicated 
to improving life in their community and who strive to reach their 
highest potential.
  The 16-year-old son of Bruce and Patricia Bentley, Steven resides in 
West Warwick, RI, where he is a student at West Warwick High School. I 
am sure his parents are extremely proud of their son's achievement. I 
have confidence that the Boy Scouts have prepared him to face life's 
challenges with great determination and character. On behalf of the 
people of Rhode Island, I would like to thank Steven for his service to 
the community and wish him great success in the future.
