  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Byron Devlin, 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 633, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Byron has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Byron has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Byron held the principal 
leadership position of Senior Patrol Leader and has actively supported 
the ministry of Heartland Presbyterian Center.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Byron Devlin 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
