                      Thursday, September 4, 2003

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Daniel Raymond 
Klco, 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 374, and in earning the most prestigious award 
of Eagle Scout.
  Daniel has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the 13 years Daniel has been involved with 
Scouting, he has attended several camps, including Rota-Kiwan, Gerber, 
and D-BaR-A. Additionally, Daniel has held numerous leadership 
positions, serving as instructor, senior patrol leader, assistant 
senior patrol leader, scribe, assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, 
and formed the position of webmaster. At the 2001 National Jamboree, he 
was appointed to the position of patrol leader and created the website 
for the Gerald R. Ford Council's Jamboree Expedition.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Daniel designed and built two handicap 
access ramps for the shower house at Camp Shawnee, a Campfire USA Camp. 
These ramps will allow the camp to better facilitate disabled campers 
and allow the camp to become handicap certified through the Americans 
with Disabilities Act.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Daniel 
Raymond Klco for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
