    INTRODUCTION OF THE REV. SAMUEL P. LAMBACK, JR., GUEST CHAPLAIN

  (Mr. CHAMBLISS asked and was given permission to revise and extend 
his remarks.)
  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in order to recognize the Rev. 
Samuel P. Lamback, Jr., who served as guest Chaplain this day in giving 
the Chamber's morning invocation.
  Originally from Macon, GA, Reverend Lamback was born and raised in my 
congressional district. After serving with distinction in the U.S. 
Army, he and his wife, Ginni, have returned to middle Georgia where 
Reverend Lamback now lives in Byron, GA, and serves as pastor of the 
Byron United Methodist church.
  Reverend Lamback has devoted his life to serving others. Following 
his graduation from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where I 
might add he was under the tutelage of our own chaplain, the Rev. Jim 
Ford, he served his country and fellow servicemen for 30 years as a 
chaplain in the U.S. Army.
  Rev. Lamback represents the finest aspects of American culture he has 
led a life of excellence and obedience in serving his God, his church, 
his beliefs, and a grateful Nation.
  It is truly an honor for me to recognize a constituent who has served 
both his country and his Creator with honor and dignity.
