                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 16, 1999

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute an outstanding 
community leader who has devoted himself to public service throughout 
his life: Mr. Vern Stover of Mansfield, Ohio. His dedication in 
volunteering his time to the Boy Scouts of America has led to his being 
honored with the Heart of Ohio Council's Good Scout Award.
  The Good Scout Award is presented to civic and community leaders who 
commit to living by the Scout Oath and the Scout Law, and who 
demonstrate a longstanding commitment to Scouting. In his 14 years as 
an active Scouting volunteer, Vern has more than proven his commitment 
and dedication to the Boy Scouts, serving in numerous capacities on 
various boards and committees. He is currently the chairman of the 
Council Advisory Board, and is a member of the Council Executive Board 
and the Council Long-Range Plan Properties Committee. Vern is also a 
Past Council Commissioner and Past National Council Representative.
  Vern is a retired agent of the Federal Bureau of investigation, and 
currently serves as a common pleas court bailiff. In addition to his 
extensive work with the Boy Scouts, he also has an active record of 
community service with SCORE and Rotary.
  As a fellow former FBI agent, I am honored to recognize my friend 
Vern for his exemplary record of public service, and to add my 
congratulations to that of many others as he receives the Good Scout 
Award.
