            RECOGNITION OF GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD RECIPIENTS

 Mr. JOHNSON. Mr. President, I want to take this opportunity 
today to recognize Misty Hansen of Girl Scout Troop 1080. Misty is an 
outstanding young woman who has received the Girl Scout Gold Award from 
the Nyoda Girl Scout Council in Huron, South Dakota. The Girl Scout 
Gold Award is the highest achievement award in U.S. Girl Scouting. This 
award exemplifies her outstanding feats in the areas of leadership, 
community service, career planning and personal development.
  Misty is one of just 20,000 Gold Award recipients since the creation 
of the program in 1980. In order to receive this award, Misty completed 
the many Gold Award requirements. She earned three interest project 
patches: the Career Exploration Pin, the Senior Girl Scout Leadership 
Award and the Senior Girl Scout Challenge. Also, she created and 
executed a Girl Scout Gold Award project which included researching the 
history of the first 30 years of the Nyoda Girl Scout Council.
  Mr. President, I feel Misty deserves public recognition for her 
tremendous service to her community and her country. I offer my 
congratulations to her for her hard work and effort in reaching this 
milestone.
