  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Elliott J. Kieffer. Elliott 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 1214, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Elliott has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Elliott 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, Elliott has 
served as the Tamegonit Lodge Chapter Seven Chief and earned the rank 
of Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Elliott has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Elliott built a 
handicap-accessible ramp with handrails for St. James Catholic Church 
in Liberty, Missouri, providing easy access to the church's educational 
wing.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Elliott J. 
Kieffer for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
