I thank Eagle Scout Glenn Thompson, Eagle Scout 1977. On behalf of Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh and Members of Congress who gathered together this evening to tell another story, I intend to do it again next month. I intend to get John Garamendi, who is one of our dear friends from California, Eagle Class of 1960. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Eagle Scouts of Congress who had time to come tonight, myself, Chris Collins, Jeb Hensarling, French Hill, Jim Bridenstine, GT Thompson, I am thankful for the hour you have allowed us to tell the story about the Boy Scouts of America, about exceptionalism, about the Order of the Arrow, and about the opportunity for character to lead a great nation. Mr. Speaker, we are thankful for the time. We will be back. We hope that we leave our campsite better than the way we found it. That is what we try to do every day. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
