              INTRODUCTION OF GUEST CHAPLAIN ADRIAN CONDIT

  (Mr. CONDIT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CONDIT. Mr. Speaker, a moment ago we heard the opening prayer 
presented by my father, the Reverend Adrian Condit. I want to thank the 
Speaker, as well as Chaplain Ford, for extending this courtesy to my 
father.
  My family has been honored that my father has been allowed the 
privilege of offering the opening prayer both here and in Sacramento 
before the California State legislature. Along with my family, I deeply 
appreciate this privilege and honor. I benefited from his counsel 
throughout my life, and I am proud to be able to share him with you 
this morning; to share him with my colleagues and the Nation.
  There are three generations of Condits here today. In addition to my 
father, my son, Chad, is here in the gallery as well.

  Again, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank you a lot. This means a lot to us 
this morning. This is a memory that the Condit family will cherish for 
a long time. I want to thank you for allowing us this opportunity this 
morning.
