  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ryan E. Jones, 
son of Chris and Colleen Jones, of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Ryan 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 31, and by earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout. Ryan will receive his Eagle Award on October 2, 2005 at 
Saint Francis Xavier Parish Center.
  Ryan has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the years Ryan has been involved with Scouting, he has 
earned numerous merit badges, honors, and leadership positions 
including Patrol Leader and Troop Guide. Ryan is a member of the Tribe 
of Mic-O-Say, and spent almost every summer at Philmont Boy Scout 
Ranch.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Ryan cleaned up brush and mowed at Happy 
Hallow Cemetery.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ryan E. Jones 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
