                    WELCOME TO FATHER JAMES J. NOCK

  (Mr. LARSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LARSON. Mr. Speaker, I would first like to extend a heartfelt 
thanks to Chaplain Ford for providing an opportunity for a dear friend 
and a pastor of mine in East Hartford, a person who has brought home 
and shepherds the flock on a regular basis, Dr. James Nock from East 
Hartford.
  Father Nock was born in Hartford, Connecticut, of Italian and Irish 
decent. He is a graduate of Saint Bonaventure University, and he also 
took his graduate studies at Sulpice in Paris, France; ordained in the 
Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris on June 26, 1964, and currently the 
pastor of Our Lady of Peace in East Hartford, Connecticut.
  Father also has served as the Chaplain of the Connecticut State 
Senate, and he has always brought not only great wisdom in his remarks 
but a great sense of humor and a sense about the people he serves here 
on Earth. I want to thank Chaplain Ford so much for providing Father 
Nock, the parish and the community of East Hartford with this wonderful 
opportunity.
