                        Monday, December 8, 2003

  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I proudly rise today to congratulate 
Clifford T. Jackson on his announced appointment to Chief Petty Officer 
in the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps, which is scheduled to occur 
on January 9, 2004. Cadet Jackson, of Westerly, Rhode Island, is an 
honor roll high school senior and has been a member of the Nautilus 
Division at the Sub Base in New London since

March 2001. Cadet Jackson has risen to the rank of Chief Petty Officer 
faster than any other cadet in the 26 years of the Nautilus Division. 
This accomplishment is only bestowed upon one half of one percent of 
approximately ten thousand Naval Sea Cadets in the program and reflects 
exceptional leadership skills and a masterful grasp of seamanship 
training.
  I hope our colleagues will join me in congratulating Clifford Jackson 
for his achievement, and I wish him great success in his future 
endeavors.
