                WELCOME TO THE REVEREND DR. DANNY McCAIN

  (Mr. WELDON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, Dr. Danny McCain is the founder 
and international director at large of International Institute for 
Christian Studies [IICS]. This organization develops and enhances 
academic Christian studies programs in public universities in 10 
countries including Nigeria, Russia, Ukraine, and China.
  In university classrooms that just 5 years ago were devoted to the 
teaching of atheism, IICS professors have been invited to teach about 
the moral foundations of society which Christianity provides.
  During the past year, Dr. McCain has taught over 300 West African 
teachers who daily teach religious and moral education in the public 
schools. At a recent seminar, the commissioner for education said, 
``Our country is in trouble; most of our troubles are related to 
morals; morals are derived from religion. Moral and religious education 
is essential for our Nation's survival.'' I am sure we could learn much 
about the source of moral values from these developing nations.
  Dr. McCain currently serves as a senior lecturer in the University of 
Jos, Nigeria, where he and his family have lived for the past 7 years.
  It is a pleasure to have him as our guest chaplain today.
