  Mrs. ADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Andrew Ryan 
McKelvey for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Andrew organized the collection and 
distribution of thousands of pairs of socks and underwear for men, 
women, and children in need. Throughout the history of the Boy Scouts 
of America, the rank of Eagle Scout has only been attained through 
dedication to concepts such as honor, duty, country and charity. By 
applying these concepts to daily life, Andrew has proven his true and 
complete understanding of their meanings, and thereby deserves this 
honor.
  I offer my congratulations on a job well done and best wishes for the 
future.
