                        TRIBUTE TO THOMAS PENLEY

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
congratulating Thomas Penley of Helena, MT, for his hard work 
representing Montana at the 2019 meeting of Boys Nation.
  The process to be a delegate at Boys Nation is highly competitive, 
with only a few students per high school allowed to receive a 
nomination. Mr. Penley successfully earned a nomination to attend the 
Montana Boys State meeting at Carrol College in Helena. At this 
meeting, Mr. Penley was one of the two attendees selected by the 
conference to represent Montana at the national meeting.
  Mr. Penley's achievements do not stop at his nomination to be part of 
the Montana delegation at the Boys Nation meeting. At the assembly, Mr. 
Penley was elected by his peers to serve as vice president of the 
session. This tremendous honor speaks volumes to Mr. Penley's work 
ethic and leadership. In the 73 years of Boys Nation, only one other 
time has a Montanan been elected vice president.
  I am proud to recognize Mr. Penley for his continued success and wish 
him the best. I look forward to following all the future 
accomplishments Mr. Penley will achieve.
