  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Alexander M. 
Stearns. Alex 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 249, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Alex has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the many years Alex has been involved with Scouting, 
he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the respect of 
his family, peers, and community. Alex has contributed to his community 
through his Eagle Scout project. Alex organized and coordinated the 
installation of 260 feet of plastic timber encompassing the mulch and 
playground equipment at Benner Park in Weston, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Alexander 
M. Stearns for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
