          RECOGNIZING CROSSROADS QUARTET'S 60-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Crossroads 
Quartet for their 60th anniversary of vocalizing Southern Gospel music 
throughout Kentucky and other States.
  Founded in 1960 in Russell Springs, Kentucky, this fine group of 
constituents has now been active within the music world for 60 
consecutive years. They have traveled thousands of miles, worn out four 
Dodge vans, and touched numerous lives.
  While some of the names and faces have changed, the inspiring mission 
of Crossroads Quartet has remained a constant. Today founding member 
Vernie McGaha, alongside Brian McGaha, Dave Powell, and Randy Hart, 
continues to fulfill the original calling of Crossroads Quartet.
  I am proud to be their voice in Washington and am confident that 
their musical ministry will be active for many years to come. Their 
decades of contributions are certainly deserving of recognition by this 
entire body.
