  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Zachary 
Beattie, 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 60, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Zachary has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Along with his 42 merit badges, Zach has earned the 
World Heritage Award and the Mile Swim Award. Zach is also a Warrior in 
the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  In 2003, Zach earned the Shawn Burke High Adventure Scouting Award 
and in 2005 he earned the Jeff Prewitt Scouting Spirit Award. Along 
with scouts, Zach is active in many community and school activities. 
Zach is also a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Future 
Teachers of America and National Honor Society.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Zachary 
Beattie for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
