                       WELCOME TO DR. DAVID BURR

  (Mr. BURR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURR. Madam Speaker, as is tradition in the House, I have the 
honor this morning of introducing our guest Chaplain. Dr. David Burr 
attended Princeton Theological Seminary after serving in World War II 
as a frogman in our Navy.
  He has served Presbyterian churches in Charlottesville, VA; Norfolk, 
VA, and retired in a church in Winston-Salem, NC, during his 43 years 
in the ministry.
  David Burr served as the chairman of the Southern Presbyterian Church 
and on the board of trustees at Davidson University.
  Today is indeed a special one for me, because our guest Chaplain 
watched me take my first step, was there on my first day of school, and 
served as my roll model in life. David Burr is indeed my father, but he 
is also my best friend. I am honored today, Dad, to welcome you to the 
U.S. House of Representatives.
