          HONORING NINE YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE BECOME EAGLE SCOUTS

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate nine young 
men in my district who exemplify leadership, commitment and 
perseverance--Kendall Belcher, Carter Boyd, Alec Giglio, and Austin 
Hunter from Shreveport, Louisiana, and Lincoln Hall, Gabe Castro, David 
Chatelain, Anthan Adkins, and Samuel Wisher from Natchitoches, 
Louisiana. They have all been named Eagle Scouts.
  The award is the highest achievement in scouting and represents 
excellence in the three goals of scouting--citizenship training, 
character development and personal fitness. These nine young men proved 
they are worthy of an honor given to only 5 percent of all scouts, not 
to mention the population in general.
  I congratulate these young men for this tremendous accomplishment, 
and I urge them to continue on the path of leadership.
