  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jack Knipp. Jack 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 865, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

   Jack has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jack 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, Jack has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Jack has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Jack led 
fellow members of his swim team in putting together a class for basic 
swim lessons, providing a valuable life lesson to the children he 
taught.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jack Knipp 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
