  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ryan Eddy 
Houghtaling. Ryan 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 376, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Ryan has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the many years Ryan 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, Ryan has earned the 
rank of Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Ryan has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Ryan planned and 
coordinated the construction of two 8x8 cement pads for bench swings 
for the Immacolata Manor home for developmentally disabled women in 
Liberty, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ryan Eddy 
Houghtaling for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
