  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Austen James Knepper. Austen 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 214, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Austen has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Austen 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, Austen has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Austen 
organized and led the construction of a trail at the Parkville Nature 
Sanctuary in Parkville, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Austen James 
Knepper for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
