                  WELCOMING REVEREND DR. ANDREW CHANEY

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. 
Long) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, today I have the honor of introducing my 
friend, the Reverend Dr. Andrew Chaney, along with his wife, Christine, 
and my wife, Barbara, in the gallery, and the Hargis family from 
Springfield, Missouri, members of the First and Calvary Church.
  Reverend Chaney is a third-generation minister. Reverend Chaney 
serves as the senior minister at the historic First and Calvary 
Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Missouri, a church that is a very 
special place for my family. Reverend Chaney serves as an important 
spiritual voice for us and the Springfield community.
  Congress has a longstanding tradition of beginning each day in 
prayer. I am privileged and honored to have the opportunity to welcome 
Reverend Dr. Andrew Chaney to the people's House as he opened today's 
session in prayer.
