  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Emily Becker 
of Blue Springs, Missouri. Emily is a very special young woman who has 
exemplified the finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by 
taking an active part in the Girl Scouts of America, and earning the

scout activities. In order to receive the prestigious Gold Award, Emily 
has completed all seven requirements that promote community service,
