  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Brandon Michael 
Lambert Beck, son of Kerry and Marilyn Beck of Saint Joseph, Missouri. 
Brandon is 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 31, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout. Brandon will receive his Eagle Award on October 
2, 2005 at Saint Francis Xavier Parish Center.
  Brandon has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the twelve years Brandon has been involved with 
Scouting, he has earned numerous merit badges, honors, and leadership 
positions. Brandon has served his troop as Assistant Patrol Leader, 
Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, 
Historian, and Troop Guide. Brandon holds the rank of Tom Tom Beater in 
the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, and participated in Junior Leader Training. 
Brandon has earned awards for snorkeling and marksmanship, as well as 
the Ad Altari Dei and Parvuli Dei religious awards. During his twelve 
years in the scouts, Brandon attended Camp Geiger for seven summers.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Brandon constructed and installed 
shelves in the basement of the rectory of Saint Francis Xavier Church.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Brandon
