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.
