SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 153

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the 
citizens of Kingwood in congratulating Joseph Richard Fochtman 
of Boy Scout Troop 1377, who recently achieved the rank of Eagle 
Scout; and

	WHEREAS, Few are privileged to be named among the ranks of 
the elite corps of Eagle Scouts; only two out of every 100 Boy 
Scouts earn this distinguished honor; and

	WHEREAS, Joseph completed a service project that required 
him to exercise his leadership abilities and at the same time 
benefit his community; and

	WHEREAS, This outstanding young man earned 45 Merit Badges 
and numerous awards, including the God and Country Award and 
World Conservation Award, and he was named brotherhood member of 
the Order of the Arrow; and

	WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and 
promise, Joseph advanced from Tenderfoot, Second, First, Star, 
and Life classes to Eagle Scout; he is truly an exemplary citizen 
of the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend
Joseph Richard Fochtman on earning the rank of Eagle Scout and 
congratulate him on his great accomplishment; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
Eagle Scout Fochtman as an expression of high regard from the 
Texas Senate.
                                                                        Williams
