                        Wednesday, July 22, 2009

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in honoring the selfless service Jack Nyiri has performed 
throughout his lifetime for the Boy Scouts of America, specifically the 
Cub Scout organization.
  The aims of Scouting--citizenship training, character development, 
and personal fitness--are so very important to developing the next 
generation of American citizens. But these aims cannot be accomplished 
without the dedication of individuals like Jack Nyiri, who are willing 
to part with their own time and effort for the good of our children.
  After participating in both Cub and Boy Scouting in Cleveland, Ohio, 
Mr. Nyiri dove into leading Cub Scout packs and participating in the 
administration of scouting across at least three different states. His 
steadfastness and excellence has been recognized through many of 
scouting's highest awards, as he has more than lived up to the Cub 
Scout motto--``Do your best.''
  Nowhere is Mr. Nyiri's dedication more tangible than in the success 
of Bus Scout Pack 96, based in Nashville, Tennessee. His leadership has 
built this pack into a strong and vibrant organization, and the scouts 
and parents of Pack 96 have expressed to me their extreme gratefulness 
for Mr. Nyiri's tenure as the Pack Leader.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Jack and ask my colleagues to join me 
in celebrating his accomplishments.
