                        Thursday, June 19, 1997

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a truly 
distinguished resident of the Sixth District of North Carolina, Mr. 
David Turlington of Greensboro.
  This past spring David was named by the Nathaniel Greene Chapter of 
the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution as Guilford 
County's top Eagle Scout. He then received State honors from the North 
Carolina Sons of the American Revolution. On July 7, I am pleased to 
announce, David Turlington will be recognized by the National Society 
of the Sons of the American Revolution as the top Eagle Scout in the 
Nation. This prestigious ceremony will be conducted in Baltimore, MD. 
In addition, David was selected as the American Legion's North Carolina 
Eagle Scout of the Year.
  David is to be commended for his dedication and perseverance in 
achieving these esteemed honors. With young people such as David 
striving for such high standards, the future of our great Nation is 
certain to be in good hands.
  David has recently graduated from Grimsley High School and plans to 
attend North Carolina State University in the fall. He serves as an 
example of the benefits of hard work and dedication. We salute David 
for his arduous work, the challenges that he has faced, and the honors 
that he has justly received. We wish David Turlington the best of luck 
in the future, and we are certain that he will make us all proud.
