                       Wednesday, April 14, 1999

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
seven young women in my district who have earned the Girl Scout Gold 
Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting.
  The Gold Award requires the greatest achievement in career 
exploration, service to other people, and acquisition of skills. This 
award is a strong reflection of these youngsters' ability to set goals, 
to put value into action, to plan, and to relate to the needs of the 
community.
  I wish to recognize Leslie Ellingson of Troop 286 in Placentia, CA.
  Mr. Speaker, I also wish to congratulate and thank Karin Carlson, 
Director of Program Services for the Girl Scout Council of Orange 
County for notifying of their achievements. On behalf of the people of 
the 41st Congressional District of California, let me say that we are 
all proud of you.
