             WELCOME TO THE REVEREND GEORGE S. DILLARD III

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I introduce 
the pastor of the day, the Reverend George S. Dillard.
  George has been a friend of mine for over 10 years. I met him when he 
was a resident of Georgia's First District, and after many years of 
good representation in the First District, he had the misfortune of 
moving to the Third District and being represented by the gentleman 
from Georgia [Mr. Collins]. But he does keep in touch with the First 
District, and we are happy to have him back with us today. He is doing 
great work up in that area.
  George was a graduate of Campbell High School. He was born in 
Fairburn, GA, and received his bachelor's degree from Atlanta Christian 
College. He received his master's degree, magna cum laude, from the 
Evangelical Theological Seminary, and this year will get his Ph.D. from 
that same institution.
  George is a minister of evangelism and preaching at the Peachtree 
City Christian Church in Peachtree, GA. George is listed in Who's Who 
in Religion and was selected as one of the

most outstanding young men in America.
  George is also here with his beautiful wife, Renee, who is with us in 
the gallery today. Renee is a schoolteacher at Cannongate Elementary 
School, and their mascot, Nellie, is with them in Washington today, so 
Nellie says hello to you from all the fourth graders back home. We will 
be going back to report on how well we are doing, so watch us today.
  Their children, Tiffany, age 6, and Alexis, age 3, are not with them, 
but they do travel with them frequently.
  They are good folks, and George has proudly been proclaiming the 
gospel wherever he goes. As we heard today, he is a man of God. Please 
welcome my friend, Rev. George Dillard.
