  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joel Gordon 
of Weatherby Lake, Missouri. Joel 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 395, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Joel has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Joel 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 Joel Gordon 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
