  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Matthew Scott 
A. Gallamore of Pleasant Valley, Missouri, 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, and by earning the 
most prestigious award of Eagle Scout. Matthew became an Eagle Scout on 
August 5, 2004 and he will be recognized at an Eagle Scout Court of 
Honor in November 2004.
  Matthew has been very active with his troop by participating in many 
Scout activities, earning over 40 merit badges, and serving in a 
variety of leadership positions. At age 9, Matthew joined the Cub 
Scouts. He advanced from Cubs to Webelos and then crossed over into the 
Boy Scouts at age 11, achieving the rank of Arrow of Light. Now 17, 
Matthew is described by his parents, peers, and community as 
exemplifying the qualities of citizenship: he is loyal, helpful, 
trustworthy, thrifty, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, 
brave, clean, and reverent.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Matthew Scott 
A. Gallamore for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
