  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Robert 
Michael Barber. Robert 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, Heart of America Council Troop 351, 
and earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Robert has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the seven years Robert has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Robert has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the

Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Robert has also contributed to his community 
through his Eagle Scout project. Robert constructed a new handicap-
accessible hunting blind at Smithville Lake in Smithville, MO, to 
replace one that was in poor condition. This will aid Smithville Lake 
in continuing to provide events which can be open to the entire hunting 
community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Robert 
Michael Barber for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
