  Mr. JONES of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to 
recognize James Benjamin Farmer, 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 6, and in 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Benjamin has been active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the years Benjamin has been involved with scouting, he 
has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the respect of his 
family, peers, and community. For his Eagle Scout Project, Benjamin 
renovated a room that now serves as a Sunday School Classroom at First 
Baptist Church in Kinston, NC.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending James 
Benjamin Farmer for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
