                     WELCOME, RABBI ISRAEL POLEYEFF

  (Mr. LEVY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LEVY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank today's guest chaplain, Rabbi 
Israel Poleyeff, for offering a moving and inspirational opening 
prayer.
  Rabbi Poleyeff is a teacher at the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns 
and Rockaway, which is located in the district I represent. He is 
joined today by several of his students in the House gallery who have 
braved the elements to tour our Capital and see their teacher speak on 
the House floor.
  Rabbi Poleyeff has served his country as an Army chaplain and has 
offered counsel and guidance to congregants in Pennsylvania and New 
York. He has been teaching at the Hebrew Academy since 1975.
  I am grateful to have such an outstanding spiritual leader from my 
district open a session of the House of Representatives and I want to 
thank Speaker Foley for allowing me to bring Rabbi Poleyeff here today.
  Thank you, Rabbi Poleyeff, and the students of the Hebrew Academy for 
joining us.
