  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
John C. Manka. 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 412, 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. Most notably, John has contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. John worked with the 
United States Army Corps of Engineers to provide five additional 
handicap-accessible deer blinds for organized hunts at Smithville Lake.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in commending John C. Manka for his 
accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts put 
forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
