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