  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jesse Dakoda 
Jepsen of Kearney, Missouri. Jesse 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.
   Jesse has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jesse 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 Jesse 
Dakoda Jepsen for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
