  TRIBUTE TO CHRISTOPHER NORWOOD ON ACHIEVING THE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
honor Christopher Norwood, of New Hampshire, on achieving the rank of 
Eagle Scout. This first-rate young man was awarded the rank of Eagle 
Scout in March of 1999.
  Through his final project, Christopher has demonstrated his 
unwavering dedication to his community and country. I wish to commend 
Christopher for receiving the highest award that is attainable in 
Scouting.
  Christopher's good natured volunteerism and commitment to Scouting 
exemplifies the qualities for which all Scouts strive: Honor, Loyalty, 
Courage, Cheerfulness and Service. For all of Christopher's hard work 
and devotion to these ideals, he has earned this coveted recognition.
  As the father of two former Scouts, I understand the time and effort 
that is involved in fulfilling the ideals of being a Scout. I know that 
Christopher will continue to be a positive role model among his peers, 
a leader in his community, a friend to those in need and an inspiration 
to all. I want to extend my sincerest congratulations and best wishes 
to Christopher. His achievement of Eagle Scout and significant 
contributions to his community are truly outstanding. It is an honor to 
represent him in the United States Senate.
