  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jesse Raymond 
Nelson, 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 1179, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Jesse has been very active with his troop participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Jesse 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 Jesse 
Raymond Nelson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
