                              GIRL SCOUTS

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate and honor the 
service of our Nation's Girl Scouts.
  On this week, more than 100 years ago, Juliette ``Daisy'' Gordon Low 
officially registered the Girl Scouts' first 18 members. Since that 
time, the Girl Scouts experience has enriched the lives of millions of 
girls, their families, and our communities.
  I am especially proud to highlight the hard work of Felicia Dodge, a 
Girl Scout from Glenville, New York. Felicia is currently working on 
her Gold Award project to help create a sustainable sewing program at a 
local school in Haiti.
  Felicia's project empowers the community to clothe themselves and 
hone the skills to run a sustainable business. Her hard work and 
certainly her involvement will send over 600 pounds of materials and 
supplies to the school. I applaud Felicia for her thoughtful and 
certainly inspiring endeavor.
  On behalf of the citizens of the 20th Congressional District of New 
York, I thank the Girl Scouts of northeastern New York for their 
commitment and for their service to our communities.
