 WELCOMING PASTOR TRAVIS BARRICK, AND PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE PAGE CLASS 
                                OF 1996

  (Mr. HUNTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to cohost, with my colleagues, 
Travis Barrick as our guest chaplain who this morning led our prayer in 
the House. It is especially appropriate that Pastor Barrick could give 
the prayer on the eve of the page graduation, since his son, Jesse, and 
the other pages of this class are graduating tomorrow.
  Pastor Barrick is pastor at Calvary Chapel in El Cajon, CA, and now 
pastors Koinonia Christian Fellowship in San Diego County. We want to 
thank Pastor Barrick for joining us in wishing all of our pages 
Godspeed.
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. HUNTER. I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina.
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, I just want to reiterate what the gentleman 
from California said. These pages have done a great job. We hear 
oftentimes, Mr. Speaker, about pages running amok, engaged in drugs and 
assault and batteries, et cetera. These pages have done a great job 
here. If I think they are a good example of the young people across our 
landscape, we have little about which to worry. We thank you, pages, 
for what you have done.
