  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Mark Foster. Mark 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 378, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Mark has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Mark 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, Mark earned 
his Eagle Scout at the age of 13, demonstrating his drive and 
commitment to the Boy Scouts of America. Mark has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Mark built picnic tables 
along the Line Creek Trail in Platte County, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Mark Foster 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
