                       RECOGNIZING CHAYNE DESSASO

  (Mr. WATKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Speaker, duty, honor, country--these three hallowed 
words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, and 
what you will be. These words were Douglas MacArthur's in a speech to 
West Point's Corps of Cadets in 1962.
  Memorizing it will be one of the many challenges faced by a young man 
from my district, Chayne Dessaso of Leavenworth, Kansas. You see, 
Chayne has recently been appointed to be a cadet of the United States 
Military Academy at West Point, my alma mater.
  West Point will teach Chayne rifle marksmanship, military tactics, 
math, chemistry, a foreign language, boxing, engineering, swimming, 
gymnastics, orienteering, history, poetry, first aid, and philosophy. 
He will also learn about camaraderie, sacrifice, leadership, and the 
human spirit. And the world will be a better place for it.
  Well done, Chayne. Welcome to The Long Gray Line.
