                  A WARM WELCOME TO OUR GUEST CHAPLAIN

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, I take the well with great pride, 
because the visiting chaplain today, Dr. Clyde Miller, is from my 
church in Denver, CO. In fact, I am a member of his flock. For those of 
you who wondered if there was anyone who would claim me, yes, and I 
must say how very, very proud I am. I am going to put his resume in the 
Record at this time, because he has a very, very long history of doing 
things, not only preaching but practicing. And I think what he said are 
all things he has practiced very hard and very diligently all his life 
and has been a great role model for how we do that. But basically one 
of the reasons that I have always enjoyed so much listening to Reverend 
Miller is the fact that he has a Barbara Jordanesque voice, that 
through all the clutter and noise, and through all of the conflicting 
things that pull and tug at us, his voice is able to pierce right 
through that and touch the souls of people who really need to be 
touched.
  I think that is truly a gift, and a gift that he has used and 
utilized well, and I thank him very, very much for being with us to 
launch this second session of the Congress.
  I include for the Record Dr. Miller's resume.

                                    Rev. Clyde H. Miller, Jr.,

     ministries. Serving as a pastor to pastors and to the 90+

     In addition to supervising a staff of twenty persons, he was

       His first position following his graduation from the 
     Chicago Theological Seminary and his ordination in 1958, was
