  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Matthew Helm, 
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 138, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Matthew has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Matthew 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 Matthew 
Helm for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
