                ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will entertain ten 1-minute 
requests following the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Skelton].
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, the morning prayer was delivered by Rev. 
Everett Hannon, who is the minister of the Second Baptist Church in my 
hometown of Lexington, MO. Reverend Hannon is a native of Lexington and 
currently resides in nearby Warrensburg, MO, with his wife Carol and 
their two children, Andrea and LeAndrea.
  Reverend Hannon is the eldest son of Marjorie and Everett Hannon, Sr. 
He received his theology degree from the Central Bible College in 
Kansas City, MO. He has been the pastor of the Second Baptist Church 
for 10 years, and he is well known for his excellent sermons and 
devotion to the members of his congregation. Reverend Hannon also 
provides civic leadership in the community.
  In addition to his church duties, he serves as the moderator of the 
Central District Missionary Baptist Association and the auditor of the 
Missouri State Missionary Baptist Congress.
  I am pleased that this outstanding Missouri minister could be with us 
today, and I know the Members of this body join me in thanking Reverend 
Hannon for his opening prayer.
