  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Christopher David Johnson. Christopher 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 247, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Christopher has been very active with his troop, participating in 
many scout activities. Over the many years Christopher 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, 
Christopher has earned the rank of Runner in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say 
while serving as his troop's Senior Patrol Leader. Christopher has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Christopher built eight movable walls for the Kansas City Pet Project 
to be used for training stray dogs in order to prepare them to be 
adopted by loving families.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Christopher 
David Johnson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
