                     WELCOME TO BISHOP DWIGHT PATE

  (Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FIELDS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to 
introduce to the House and to the American people a man who has had a 
great impact on many lives through his good work, his teaching, and his 
message of good will.
  Bishop Dwight Pate is from my home of Baton Rouge, LA, where he leads 
Church Point Ministries, a large church of over 4,000 members, as well 
as an academy where teaching prepares and inspires many people who have 
lost their way to live meaningful and good lives. Homeless people, 
those addicted to drugs, and all who have lost their way in our society 
can find the path to healing through Bishop Pate's ministry. Bishop 
Pate's hard work has built an institution that is invaluable to his 
community, and his teaching has healed and inspired. His ministry 
brings his community together for worship and dedication to make their 
lives better.
  His work is the work that helps make America great. I want to thank 
Bishop
