                        TRIBUTE TO GLADE SANDERS

 Mr. LEE. Mr. President, today I wish to congratulate Mr. Glade 
Sanders, a fine Utah resident who was recently honored with the 
prestigious Outstanding Eagle Scout Award. Only 150 such awards have 
been bestowed upon individual scouts in the entire country.
  Sanders also deserves congratulations for reaching the age of 100. He 
has spent many of those years working tirelessly in his community, 
including the period during the Great Depression when he led his local 
Boy Scouts in Troop 133 as scoutmaster. Troop 133 recently celebrated 
Sanders and his accomplishments during a Court of Honor.
  Sanders joined the scouting program at 17 years of age. Once there, 
however, he spent 29 years as an active scouter. In those days, 
scoutmasters could become Eagles, and Sanders became the first Eagle 
Scout in Nephi, UT, in 1934. He also received Scouting's Silver Beaver 
Award. Sanders would serve as scoutmaster for 9 years, toughing out the 
hard times of the Great Depression and helping his scouts do the same 
in whatever way he could.
  Today, Sanders' name is engraved at the top of a plaque recognizing 
all of the Eagle Scouts of Troop 133. He has dedicated his life to 
helping others and has earned his reward many times over by seeing 
young men attain the rank of Eagle. As a fellow scout, I deeply thank 
him for his service.
