  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
distinguished Lieutenant Glen S. Leverette of the United States Navy.
  On March 17, 1998, Lieutenant Leverette will be recognized by the 
Newport County Council, Navy League of the United States and the Rotary

  A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Lieutenant Leverette graduated 
from Fletcher Senior High School, Neptune Beach, Florida in 1986. He is 
a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Gordon Conwell Theological 
Seminary, and Jacksonville University, where he received a Master of 
Arts in teaching. Commissioned in May 1990, Lieutenant Leverette has 
had a versatile career as a naval officer, from the Command Information 
Center and Assistant Operations Officer on the cruiser USS Leyte Gulf 
(CG-55), to his current assignment as the Propagation Detection/Command 
and Control Unit Lead Instructor at Surface Warfare Officers School 
Command (SWOSCOLCOM), Newport, RI.
  Lieutenant Leverette was cited for his sustained superior performance 
during his tour with the SWOSCOLCOM. He has served with the utmost 
distinction as an instructor, student advisor, and ADP Officer at 
Division Officer Training Department. Lieutenant Leverette's 
professional knowledge, enthusiasm, and motivation has had a direct 
impact on thousands of officers. Due to his dedication of duty and 
sustained superior performance, Lieutenant Leverette was selected as 
the Instructor of the Year by his peers.
  As a community leader, Lieutenant Leverette provides counseling, 
spiritual, and pastoral support for more than 150 members in the 
Providence, Rhode Island Metropolitan area as Pastor of the Congdon 
Street Baptist Church. As an advocate for youth in his community, he 
supports the Baptist Youth Fellowship and the City of Providence's 
Adopt-A-Child program.
  Lieutenant Leverette currently resides in Taunton, Massachusetts with 
his wife Marian and their daughter Kalea.
  I am pleased to salute Lieutenant Glen S. Leverette of the United 
States Navy on his outstanding accomplishment.
