                WELCOME TO REVEREND STEVEN L. WOLVERTON

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Myrick). Under the Speaker's announced 
policy of January 19, 1999, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Erlich) is 
recognized during morning hour debates for 5 minutes.
  Mr. EHRLICH. Madam Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to introduce 
you to the Reverend Steven L. Wolverton, who served as my Legislative 
Fellow in my congressional office in 1997. Steve is in the gallery to 
the right, and I welcome him to the House of Representatives here 
today. He is an electrical engineer with the Federal Government, as 
well as a youth pastor at Lee Street Memorial Baptist Church in 
Baltimore, Maryland.
  Steve and his wife, Vicki, lead a dynamic, growing youth ministry in 
south Baltimore called LifeChangers, which is dedicated to establishing 
role models and positive life opportunities for inner-city youth. More 
recently he is working with a Baltimore businessman to renovate an old 
department store and establish a private evangelical Christian school 
in the southern Baltimore peninsula. I commend him on the investment he 
is making on behalf of the young people of Baltimore City.
  Steve is a strong believer in serving God and his country, and it is 
my privilege to welcome him to the floor of the United States House of 
Representatives. Thank you, Steve, for your inspiring life, and 
welcome.
