  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Alexander 
Steven Ortega, 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 314, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Alexander has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Alexander has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Alexander 
Steven Ortega for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
