  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Austin Michael 
Martens, 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 9, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Austin has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the many years Austin has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous

  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Austin 
Michael Martens for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
