                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                       Thursday, February 8, 2007

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Mitchell 
Kilpatrick, 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, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Mitchell has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the many years Mitchell has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Mitchell researched 42 years of football 
statistics for defense, offense and special teams to determine the 
record holders for Truman High School. He also raised $1,300 to 
purchase a glass covered statistics case which now displays the record 
holders' names and their statistics at Truman High School.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Mitchell 
Kilpatrick for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
