  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jason Guthery, 
a very special young man who has exemplified the finest qualities of 
citizenship and leadership. He has been honored with the Award of 
Distinction as winner of the Cotillion for Achievement scholarship 
program.
  The Cotillion for Achievement award was established in 1986 and is 
presented annually. Two winners, one male, one female, are selected 
from public and private school seniors attending school in Andrew and 
Buchanan County, Missouri. Students are evaluated on four criteria; 
scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities, community 
involvement and an essay written by the student. This prestigious award 
has been extended to Jason.
  Jason has established himself as a well-rounded student. He is 
involved in numerous activities, including Student Council president, 
yearbook editor, newspaper editor, Spirit team, baseball captain, 
football captain, LaFayette overnight experience, Peers Always Listen, 
blood mobile, Youth Forum facilitator, Lindbergh Christmas volunteer, 
Young Life junior leader, and a junior counselor of the Missouri 
Association of Student Councils. Additionally, he has been honored for 
his achievements with such awards and distinctions as the Students 
Owning Academic Responsibility academic pin winner and academic letter 
winner.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jason Guthery 
for his many achievements and in wishing him the best of luck in his 
future.
