  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Austin Abarr, 
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 45, 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 merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Austin 
Abarr for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout. I am honored to represent Austin in the United States House of 
Representatives.
