                TRIBUTE TO REVEREND THOMAS F. GULBRONSON

  Mr. MORAN of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I do not know when it was that 
Pastor Tom Gulbronson realized what a gift from God and a calling for 
God that he had. It may have been when he was serving in the United 
States Air Force. I do know that since serving his country in the Air 
Force, Pastor Tom has been a pastor for 40 years. In fact, 20 of those 
years he has been Pastor at the First Assembly of God Church in 
Alexandria, Virginia.
  Now, during that period of time he has gotten all kinds of awards, 
and I could list all of them, and he has spoken on the 700 Club and he 
has become nationally known, both for his sermons and his books and his 
leadership. But we know him because he is a dynamic figure in our 
community. People gather together under his leadership and are inspired 
by his commitment to God and to the principles that he has dedicated 
his life to.
  So it is a particular pleasure to have him address this body this 
day. I thank the majority leader for arranging it. I thank Pastor Tom 
for all of the many, many years that he has served our community and 
our country. Thank you, Tom.
