                    INTRODUCTION OF REVEREND DURLEY

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to say a few words 
about our guest chaplain, the Reverend Dr. Gerald L. Durley of Atlanta.
  Rev. Dr. Durley is the senior pastor of the Providence Missionary 
Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. He is currently president of the 
Concerned Black Clergy of Atlanta.
  A true leader, Reverend Durley serves on numerous boards and 
committees of community organizations. He also serves as the Health 
Promotions Resource Center at Morehouse School of Medicine.
  A native of Wichita, KS, Reverend Durley did his undergraduate study 
at Tennessee State University where he received a bachelor of science 
degree. He received his master of divinity degree from Howard 
University. The Reverend Dr. Durley also earned a master of science 
degree from the University of Illinois and earned his Ph.D in 
psychology from the University of Massachusetts.
  As a student at Tennessee State in Nashville, TN, the Reverend Dr. 
Durley was an active participant in the civil rights movement. Rev. Dr. 
Durley served among the first group of Peace Corps volunteers that were 
sent to Nigeria in the 1960's.
  In Atlanta, we are fortunate to have Rev. Dr. Durley to be a leader 
in our community.
  Today, let us welcome Rev. Dr. Durley to the House of the people.
