“Eagle Scout Congressman French Hill, Eagle class of `72, thank you very much. It is with great distinction now that I recognize Congressman Eagle Scout Jim Bridenstine, 1991. It was about a week ago that Eagle Scout Bridenstine came up to me and said: Pete, I want you to know that my son is involved in Scouting, and I deeply believe in it, but I think we ought to get together here. So it actually is Eagle Scout Jim Bridenstine who said: Let's get together our Eagle Scouts and talk about it. And I hope that the gentleman will have a chance to come on July 24 or so, as Eagle Scout Members of Congress, along with Senator Mike Enzi, and perhaps others--my Down syndrome son, Eagle Scout Alexander Gregory Sessions, Troop 890, Lake Highlands, Texas, will join me--that you, too, with your son, may be able to go with us to the reserve and do that. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Bridenstine), a distinguished Eagle Scout. {time} 1830”
