               NEBRASKA GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD RECIPIENTS

 Mr. KERREY. Mr. President, I would like to recognize seventeen 
outstanding young Nebraska women who have been honored with the Girl 
Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement award a U.S. Girl Scout can 
attain.
  The Girl Scout Gold Award symbolizes outstanding accomplishment in 
leadership, community service, career planning, and personal 
development. This year's winners completed projects such as creating a 
multicultural mural at a local school; cleaning, rust-proofing, and 
painting bathhouses at Two Rivers State Park; and building a large 
scale doll house that will teach independent living skills to children 
at the Hattie B. Munroe Center. The Nebraska recipients were honored by 
the Great Plains Girl Scout Council in Omaha, Nebraska.
  Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., an organization serving over two and a 
half million girls, has awarded more than 20,000 Girl Scout Gold Awards 
to Senior Girls Scouts since the inception of the program in 1980. The 
Gold Award represents the culmination of the achievement of many goals.
  I would today like to honor these Nebraskans for their exceptional 
efforts in attaining the Gold Award: Megan Rachel Adams, Alyssa Ann 
Arthur, Gina R. Dowis, Elizabeth Ann Holland, Melody E. Jones, Sara 
Anne Jones, Kjirsten R. Kellogg, Stefanie Kudera, Tera R. Maeder, Katie 
Michalski, Stephanie Jane Patton, Kelly Peters, Marie Roscoe, Melissa 
Jo Scurlock, Elizabeth A. Sigler, Karianne Sis, and Samantha Waterman. 
I salute them for their significant service to their community and our 
country.
