          THOMAS MAKAR OF CLEVELAND, OHIO ATTAINS EAGLE SCOUT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 22, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Thomas Makar of 
Cleveland, Ohio, who will be honored August 21, 1999 for his attainment 
of Eagle Scout.
  The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest honor in which a Scout can 
earn. Each Eagle Scout must earn 21 merit badges, twelve of which are 
required. The merit badges an Eagle Scout must earn range from First 
Aid to Camping to Citizenship of the Community, Nation, and the World. 
Additionally, each Eagle Scout must complete an Eagle Project that 
benefits the community in which he must plan, finance, and execute. 
Furthermore, an Eagle Scout must hold a variety of leadership positions 
in which he learns important life skills. Thomas has accomplished this 
and more.
  Thomas has proved himself as an exceptional young man who lives by 
the Scout Law; Scout Oath; Scout Promise; and Scout Motto. Thomas is 
also the first second-generation Eagle Scout in his troop history, and 
this is a tribute to the entire Makar family.
  I ask you to please join me in recognizing and congratulating Thomas 
for his achievement.
