                      WELCOMING RABBI WARREN STONE

  (Mrs. MORELLA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of welcoming Rabbi 
Warren Stone to the House this morning.
  Rabbi Stone has been the spiritual leader at Temple Emanuel Synagogue 
in Kensington, MD for the past 10 years. His tenure at Temple Emanuel 
has been characterized by growth in membership and community 
involvement. Under Rabbi Stone's leadership, members of the 
congregation volunteer their services to the community, visiting the 
elderly, feeding the hungry, and helping at local shelters for battered 
women and for the homeless.
  Rabbi Stone is a staunch environmentalist, and often weaves into his 
sermons messages about the importance of protecting our natural 
resources and maintaining a safe and healthy environment. He is an 
advocate for Israel and for human rights.
  Rabbi Stone has distinguished himself with an impressive record of 
dedicated service to both Temple Emanuel and the Montgomery County 
community. I am honored that he delivered the invocation on the House 
floor this morning, and I am proud to represent Rabbi Stone and the 
congregation of Temple Emanuel Synagogue in Congress.
