  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Nicholas Joseph VanBebber. Nicholas 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 96, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Nicholas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Nicholas 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, Nicholas has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project, which 
included providing necessary maintenance for his parish, including a 
drag of the diamond.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Nicholas 
Joseph VanBebber for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
