                      WELCOMING IMAM OMAR SULIEMAN

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. 
Johnson) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank Imam 
Sulieman for offering the opening prayer before the House of 
Representatives and to recognize the commencement of Ramadan, the 
Muslim holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal. He offers counsel 
and religious guidance to many Muslims in my district and throughout 
the north Texas region.
  We are fortunate to live in a nation that embraces religious 
diversity and interfaith understanding. I am proud to have introduced a 
resolution to recognize the commencement of Ramadan and to commend the 
Muslim community in the United States and throughout the world for 
their faith.
