                    TRIBUTE TO BILL AND DALE BELCHER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELTON GALLEGLY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Saturday, November 8, 1997

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Bill and Dale 
Belcher on being chosen as Golden Condor Award winners for their many 
years of outstanding service to their community and Scouting.
  Their work with the Scouts has spanned decades and has had a 
tremendous impact on the many young people they have worked with over 
the years. Their sense of community extends far beyond the boundaries 
of Scouting. For some, that would be enough public service, but not for 
Bill and Dale. Each of them has dedicated their life to a variety of 
service organizations. Both Bill and Dale have been very involved in 
their church and served as executives with United Way.
  Dale is active with Soroptimist International, Oxnard Women's Club, 
and a host of other organizations. Bill is a 20-year veteran of the 
U.S. Navy, and a longtime member of the Rotary Club, just to name a 
few.
  Mr. Speaker, Bill and Dale Belcher stand as shining examples of the 
difference two people can make in the lives of many. I would like to 
extend my sincere congratulations to Dale and Bill on having been 
chosen as Golden Condor Award winners and thank them for their work in 
our community.
