                        Thursday, March 17, 2005

  Mr. INGLIS of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, please join me in 
congratulating the National Beta Club as it completes its celebration 
of its 75th anniversary. The organization was formed by the late Dr. 
John West Harris in 1934 in Spartanburg County, SC and is still 
headquartered there in the Fourth District of South Carolina.
  Over the years, the National Beta Club has provided the catalyst for 
teenagers of good character to develop leadership skills and channel 
their energy into productive service to others. By maintaining its high 
standards and worthy goals and acting through its outstanding local 
chapters across the country, the organization has had a positive impact 
on the success and accomplishments of our great nation for the past 
seven decades.
  The National Beta Club's celebration of its seventy-first anniversary 
is an occasion highly deserving of recognition. Therefore, please join 
me in honoring this organization and its efforts to lay the foundation 
for learning and leading early in the lives of the young people whose 
lives it impacts.

                          ____________________
