  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate and 
commend Troop 457 of Boy Scouts of America in my district of South 
Florida. On Saturday, April 25, 2009, the troop will conduct their 
Court of Honor, honoring 13 of their own with the most prestigious rank 
of Eagle Scout.
  Boy Scouts of America is a tremendous organization that my husband, 
Dexter, and I have continuously supported. With Dexter being a Eagle 
Scout, and me previously serving as a Girl Scout Troop Leader, we fully 
understand and appreciate all of the hard work and dedication invested 
into achieving the highest rank of Eagle Scout.
  These 13 young men have distinguished themselves in the South Florida 
community as leaders of tomorrow through their countless hours of 
service toward improving South Florida. It is with great honor that I 
ask that the names of these 13 individuals be submitted into the 
Congressional Record.
  William David Cochran, Kenneth Lewis Baer, James Phillip Baer, Joshua 
Rothenberg, Michael Thomas Dannelly, Leo Benjamin Kaplowitz, Wade 
Morgan Judy, Timothy Young Hunter, David Benjamin Shapiro, Alexander 
Pergakis, Jonathan A. Muench, Jonathan O. Lopez, Gabriel Cespedes.
