  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Matthew Nicholas Sutherland. Matthew 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.
  Matthew has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Matthew has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned 39 merit badges, but also the respect 
of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Matthew has earned 
his Bronze Palm and Gold Palm Awards, served in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, 
and has camped a total of 82 nights. Matthew has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Matthew created an 
exhibit for the Clay County Historical Museum which took 144 hours of 
service to complete.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Matthew 
Nicholas Sutherland for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of 
America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest 
distinction of Eagle Scout.
