  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize four 
constituents in my district who achieved the distinguished rank of 
Eagle Scout. As members of the Pendleton County Boy Scouts and the 
brotherhood, Order of the Arrow, they demonstrate the high standards of 
Scouting and citizenship. I would like to take a moment to highlight 
their individual accomplishments:
  Mathew Tyler Putz of Franklin, West Virginia achieved the rank of 
Eagle Scout on February 19, 2006. In addition to Scouting activities; 
Mathew plays football and track for Pendleton County High School and is 
a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Future Farmers 
of America.
  Jeremy Allen Hottinger was officially recognized as an Eagle Scout on 
August 2, 2006. He plays football for the Pendleton County Wildcats and 
is a member of the Upper Tract Volunteer Fire Department.
  Julian Achetta Siapno became an Eagle Scout on August 22, 2006. He is 
currently serving our country in the United States Air Force.
  For their final project, Matthew, Jeremy, and Julian worked together 
to improve a picnic shelter at a local Navy Base in Sugar Grove. 
Matthew built a wooden bridge across a ravine; while Jeremy made a 
gravel path at both ends of the bridge. Julian painted and improved the 
picnic area. They are members of Scout Troop 162 in Franklin, West 
Virginia.
  Travis Allen Day, a member of Troop 499 in Circleville, joined the 
prestigious league of Eagle Scouts on December 28, 2006. He cleaned and 
remodeled the United States Forest Service public rifle range at 
Brandywine, West Virginia. Travis also plays baseball for the 
Petersburg High School Vikings baseball team.
  I would like to congratulate these four young West Virginians for 
their adherence to the Boy Scouts of America. I want to extend to them 
my most sincere gratitude for preserving and improving their 
communities. I look forward to the future accomplishments of these 
promising young citizens.
