  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Alan P. Lessenden. Alan 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 351, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

scout activities. Over the many years Alan 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, Alan has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Alan P.

Scout.
