  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Andrew Nelson 
of Smithville, Missouri. Andrew is 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 1360, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Andrew has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Andrew 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 Andrew 
Nelson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
