  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
David Butler. David 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 1376, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   David has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years David 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, David has 
led his troop as the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, became a 
Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow, and earned the rank of 
Tom-Tom Beater in the tribe of Mic-O-Say. David has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. David built five wooden 
storage boxes to hold the seat cushions for the swings at Immacolata 
Manor, a home for adults with developmental disabilities in Liberty, 
Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending David Butler 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
