  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I, proudly pause to recognize Jonathan Klamm 
of Liberty, MO, 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 376, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Jonathan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the years that Jonathan has been involved with 
Scouting, he has held numerous leadership positions, serving as Patrol 
Leader on five occasions, Quartermaster on four occasions, Den Chief, 
Troop Guide, and Instructor. Jonathan has earned 32 merit badges, the 
12 Month Camper Award, the 100 Nights Camper Award, the World 
Conservation Award, the BSA 50 Miler, and the Religious Award: the Ad 
Altare Dei. He is an Ordeal Member of the Order of the Arrow, and a 
Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. His Tribal Name is Curious 
Golden Squirrel, and his blood brother is Cameron Brenton.
  Jonathan's Eagle Scout Project consisted of leading a group of Scouts 
and Scouters to make improvements at the Earnest Shepherd Youth Center 
in Liberty.
  In addition to these outstanding achievements, I am also proud to 
recognize Jonathan's work towards my election to the 109th meeting of 
this most honorable Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in commending Jonathan Klamm for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
