                       THE REVEREND GEORGE WILSON

  (Ms. NORTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, we are pleased to welcome this morning 
Father George Walter Wilson, who is a priest of one of Washington's 
oldest and most revered churches, St. Augustine Catholic Church.
  Father Wilson has spent most of his life in service to his church as 
a devoted Catholic layman. He entered the priesthood only 2 years ago, 
after serving for 17 years as a permanent deacon. Today he ministers to 
the elderly, to those with HIV, to families, to the homeless, and to 
youth. Father Wilson's priesthood follows directly from his life, 
including 35 years as a public schoolteacher in the Baltimore Public 
Schools. He was educated in the public schools of the District of 
Columbia, we are proud to say. He is now a Ph.D. from the University of 
California.
  Mr. Speaker, Father Wilson is a priest whose life flows into and from 
his ministry. We are pleased that he has graced this Chamber this 
morning.
