  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jonathan Lawson. Jon 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 376, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Jon has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Jon 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, Jon has become a member of 
both the tribe Mic-O-Say and Order of the Arrow. Jon has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Jon built 
a fire pit at the Rush Creek Campus of Liberty United Methodist Church.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jonathan for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
