  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Robert 
Michael Barber. Robert 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, Heart of America Council Troop 351, 
and earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Robert has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the seven years Robert has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Robert has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Robert has 
also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Robert constructed a new handicap-accessible hunting blind at 
Smithville Lake in Smithville, MO, to replace one that was in poor 
condition. This will aid Smithville Lake in continuing to provide 
events which can be open to the entire hunting community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Robert 
Michael Barber for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of

America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest 
distinction of Eagle Scout.
