  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jared Saleski, 
son of Paul and Elizabeth Saleski, a fine young man who has exemplified 
the optimum qualities of citizenship and leadership by actively 
participating in the Boy Scouts of America and earning the most 
prestigious award, the Eagle Scout. He is scheduled for his Eagle Court 
of Honor on May 25, 2004.
  Jared has been very active with his troop from the age of six, 
participating in many Scout activities. In that time, he has held 
numerous leadership positions, serving as Patrol Leader, Den Chief, 
Troop Guide, and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. He progressed through 
the rank of Tenderfoot Second Class, First Class, Star, and Life. Jared 
has earned forty-one merit badges in his career with the Boy Scouts. 
Besides these achievements, he has earned the religious emblems 
presented from the Catholic Church of Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius VI. 
Jared is a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow, Chapter Seven 
and a Fire-Starter member of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. He has attended 
camp at Camp Naish and six sessions at the H. Roe Bartle Scout 
Reservation in Osceola, Missouri, as well as a Packard High Adventure 
Camp in Salida, Colorado. Jared's Eagle Scout Project was to construct 
a concrete driving slab for the barn at the Immacolata Manor Home for 
women in Liberty, Missouri.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jared Paul 
Saleski for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
