  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Paul Benavidez. Paul 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.
  Paul has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Paul has been involved with scouting, 
he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the respect of 
his family, peers, and community. Paul has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Paul benefited his local 
community and the City of Liberty by painting parking lot lines in a 
newly paved parking lot. He also painted lines on a basketball court at 
Place Liberte Park, a neighborhood park that the city maintains.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Paul 
Benavidez for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
