  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize John Everett 
Biven of Liberty, MO. John 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 2418, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  John has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years John 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 John 
Everett Biven for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
