  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Phillip 
Belcher, 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 1433, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Phillip has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Phillip has been involved in scouting, 
he has earned 31 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, 
serving as Senior Patrol Leader and Den Chief for Cub Scouts. Phillip 
is a member of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and is in the Order of the Arrow.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Phillip built concrete stairs at the 
Rolling Hills Community Church.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Phillip 
Belcher for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
