                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 29, 1997

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding scout, David B. Burke, in achieving the rank of Eagle 
Scout.
  The Boy Scouts of America, Troop 358, will present David B. Burke 
with the Eagle Scout Award at St. Christopher's Gym in Midlothian, IL, 
on Sunday, November 2, 1997, in the presence of his fellow troop 
members, his parents, family, and friends.
  The Eagle Scout Award stands for honor, which is the foundation of 
all character. It stands for loyalty and without loyalty, all character 
lacks direction. Finally, the award displays courage, which gives 
character force and strength.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate David and his parents for the many years 
of participating in the Scouting Program that has proven to develop a 
solid foundation for many of our youths, all over this fine country of 
the United States.
