  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Chris Winkie. Chris 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.
   Chris has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Chris 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, Chris has 
led his troop as the Senior Patrol Leader. Chris has also contributed 
to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Chris planted 75 
willow trees at a low water crossing over Line Creek in Platte County, 
Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Chris Winkie 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
