                       Thursday, November 6, 2003

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Charles Andrew 
Bishop, 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 395, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Charles has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the five years Charles has been involved with 
scouting, he has earned 31 merit badges and has held numerous 
leadership positions, serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, 
Assistant Patrol Leader, and Den Chief. Charles is also a Tom-Tom 
Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Charles built a hiking path at the 
Parkville Nature Sanctuary in Parkville, Missouri. The bridge will 
create an elevated walking platform that will not spoil the natural 
landscape.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Charles 
Andrew Bishop for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
