                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 19, 1998

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to a 
truly outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District, 
Scott B. Radcliffe. Scott recently accepted his offer of appointment to 
attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and 
will soon enroll as part of the Cadet Class of 2002.
  Scott, who is from Perrysburg, Ohio, will soon be graduating from 
Perrysburg High School. After graduation, he will begin preparing for 
what figures to be one of the most exciting, challenging, and 
educational experiences of his life: his four years at West Point.
  While attending high school in Perrysburg, Scott distinguished 
himself as a talented student. His academic achievements in the 
classroom are certainly accomplishments of which he can be proud. An 
honors student, Scott has maintained a cumulative grade point average 
of 3.3, placing him near the top in his class of 315 students.
  In addition to his excellent work in the classroom, Scott has proven 
himself to be a talented and gifted student-athlete. Scott has excelled 
on the fields of competition throughout his high school career. During 
his senior year, he was selected as the Captain of the Varsity Football 
Team and the Varsity Basketball Team. He has also been active in the 
Perrysburg Show Choir, symphony, and the school musical.
  Mr. Speaker, each year, I have the opportunity to nominate several 
outstanding young men and women from the Fifth District to the nation's 
military academies. I am pleased that Scott was among those nominated 
for the West Point Class of 2002. I would urge my colleagues to stand 
and join me in paying special tribute to Scott Radcliffe, and in 
wishing him well at West Point and in the future.
