                      Wednesday, February 2, 2005

  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my 
constituent Jonathan Dean Sisto of Eagle Scout troop #204 in Lafayette, 
California, as he receives the distinguished honor of the Eagle Scout 
rank.
  The honor of Eagle Scout is given only to those young men who have 
demonstrated that that they have fulfilled its rigorous requirements, 
including living by the Scout Oath and Law, rising through the Boy 
Scout ranks, earning 21 merit badges, serving as a leader, and planning 
and leading a service project for their community. This is not an honor 
given out lightly: this young man is becoming an Eagle Scout because he 
is intelligent, dedicated, and principled.
  I am proud to call Jonathan Dean Sisto my constituent, for he is a 
shining example of the promise of the next generation. Indeed, he 
represents the best of the young people in our country. I extend my 
sincere congratulations to him and his family, on this momentous 
occasion.

                          ____________________
