                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                      CONGRATULATING EAGLE SCOUTS

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I rise to congratulate Seth 
Honerman, Robert Viste, Kevin and Kyle Roades, Dennis VerHey, Donald 
Nordlie, Adam English, Michael King, Jordan Richter, Bayard Carlson, 
Ryan King, Thomas Hieber, Jeffrey Wilkes, and Travis Maholovich who 
have recently obtained the rank of Eagle Scout. The rank of Eagle Scout 
is the highest rank given to lifetime members of the Boy Scouts. This 
honor is not given lightly, and it represents their great drive and 
dedication to excellence.
  These young men should be proud of their accomplishment. The rank of 
Eagle is given to only 2 percent of all Boy Scouts, and these young men 
find themselves among other great Americans including Neil Armstrong 
and Gerald Ford. I look forward to these Scouts going on to do great 
things as well.
  I am proud to join the friends and family of these proud Scouts in 
congratulating them on their many and most recent 
accomplishments.

                          ____________________
