  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Thomas R. Givens. Thomas 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 1261, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Thomas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Thomas 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, Thomas has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in commending Thomas R. Givens for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
