                      Wednesday, February 26, 2003

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joe Phillip 
Protenic, a very special young man who has exemplified the finest 
qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, troop 314, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Stephen has been very active with his troop, where one of his 
favorite activities was a five day canoe trip, where the troop had 
Sunday morning worship on the river.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Joe designed and built a 4'x6' shed at a 
house built by Habitat For Humanity in Liberty, Missouri. Because the 
house does not have a walk-out basement, the homeowners are thrilled to 
have this easily accessible storage space.

  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joe Phillip 
Protenic for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
