  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Lee Michael 
Carpenter, 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 260, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Lee has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the many years Lee 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 Lee Michael 
Carpenter for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
