  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Paul Spring. Paul 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 374, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Paul has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Paul 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, Paul has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Paul led 
a construction team in building a picnic area consisting of four cedar 
tables and an encompassing rubber mulch area at Pleasant Valley Baptist 
Church in Kansas City, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Paul Spring 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
