                     HONORING CADET JUSTIN B. COPE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARTIN FROST

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 12, 2004

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Cadet Justin B. Cope 
for his recent appointment as a Chief Petty Officer of the United 
States Naval Sea Cadet Corps. The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps 
was first established in 1958 in order to develop a greater 
appreciation of the United States' naval history, traditions, customs, 
and significant role in defense. With only about one half of one 
percent of Naval Sea Cadets receiving the recognition and honor of 
being appointed as a Chief Petty Officer, Cadet Cope's ascension to the 
rank of Chief Petty Officer clearly reflects his superior qualities in 
leadership, expertise in seamanship, and patriotic character.
  Again, I congratulate Chief Petty Officer Justin B. Cope's great 
achievement and wish him all the greatest success in the future.
