  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jeremiah Coomes 
of Smithville, MO, 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 447, and in earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout. Jeremiah will receive the Eagle Scout 
Award at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor on September 19, 2004 at River 
of Life Church in Kansas City, MO.
  Jeremiah has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jeremiah has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but the respect 
of his family, peers, and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jeremiah 
Coomes for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
