  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Phillip 
Torres of Kansas City, Missouri. Phillip 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 1707, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Phillip has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Phillip 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 Phillip
