                          EAGLE SCOUTS HONORED

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 9, 1999

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues, six outstanding young individuals from the 
3rd Congressional District of Illinois, all 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 fall and winter 
seasons: Anthony Cesaro, Eric Charles Fritz, John A. Studnicka Jr., 
Brandon William Pfizenmaier, Peter William Davidovith, and Charles 
Lamphier. 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.
