  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Matthew Hartmann. Matt 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 175, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Matt has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Matt 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, Matt has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and led his 
troop as the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Matt has also contributed 
to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Matt led a team in 
designing and constructing 30 new signs and replacing 28 burlap targets 
at the James A. Reed Conservation Area archery range in Lee's Summit, 
Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Matthew 
Hartmann for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
