  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ryan Slanczka 
of Liberty, Missouri. Ryan is 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 1397, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Ryan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Ryan has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous

   Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ryan 
Slanczka for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
