  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Douglas 
McLain, 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 351, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Douglas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Douglas has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Douglas 
McLain for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout. I am honored to represent Douglas in the United States House of 
Representatives.
