                 WELCOME TO THE REVEREND BREWSTER BEACH

  (Mrs. KELLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the U.S. House of 
Representatives, I am delighted to welcome Rev. Brewster Beach to the 
Halls of Congress and recognize him for delivering that inspirational 
opening prayer.
  Reverend Beach has recently retired from St. Peter's Episcopal Church 
of Lithgow where his devotion and dedication helped the church grow 
considerably. Over the years, Reverend Beach started a Sunday School, 
formed a choir, expanded the church hall, and almost doubled the size 
of the parish. He is well known throughout the Hudson Valley and into 
New York City, not only as a minister but as a psychotherapist.
  I would like to thank former Congressman Hamilton Fish for arranging 
to have Reverend Beach lead us in our opening prayer. We are all 
honored that he traveled all the way from Millbrook, NY, to join us 
today. Thank you again, Rev. Brewster Beach.
