                       Tuesday, November 25, 2003

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Carl Howard, 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 247, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Carl has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the ten years Carl has been involved with scouting, he 
has earned 40 merit badges, as well as the World Conservation Award, 
the Arrow of Light, and God and Country. He has held numerous 
leadership positions, serving as assistant patrol leader and den chief. 
Carl is also a Tom-Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Carl obtained the needed supplies and 
coordinated a group of scouts in painting the baseball dugouts at 
Waterwell Park in Kansas City, Missouri. The project was completed to 
repair damage from a flood.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Carl Howard 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
