  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues, twenty-seven outstanding young individuals 
from the 3rd Congressional District of Illinois, who have completed a 
major goal in their scouting career.
  The following young men of the 3rd Congressional District of Illinois 
have earned the high rank of Eagle Scout in the past months: 
Christopher Jesionowski, Gerald Reid, Jr., Charles R. Dattilo, David W. 
Kurzawski, Kenneth R. Cechura, Matthew J. Tiffy, Carl Marcanti, Adam 
Ramm, Daniel David Grabacki, Brian T. Meyer, James Joseph Pesavento, 
Andrew Paul Marhoul, Corey G. Zadlo, Joshua S. Anderson, Jacob P. 
Anderson, William (Bill) Skobutt, Gregory Prawdzik, Mark Tatara, Jason 
M. Wolff, Richard J. Michals, Matthew A. Nemchausky, Tomasz Sokolowski, 
William F. Urso, Eric Michael Dusik, Paul Mervine, Prenston Gale, and 
Keith Klikas. These young men have demonstrated their commitment to 
their communities, and have perpetuated the principles of scouting. It 
is important to note that less than two percent of all young men in 
America attain the rank of Eagle Scout. This high honor can only be 
earned by those scouts demonstrating extraordinary leadership 
abilities.
  In light of the commendable leadership and courageous activities 
performed by these fine young men, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring the above scouts for attaining the highest honor in Scouting--
the Rank of Eagle.

Let us wish them the very best in all of their future endeavors.
