                  WELCOME TO THE REVEREND STUART YORK

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, it is a special honor for the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Gary Miller) and me to welcome Pastor Stuart York and 
his wife Alicia into the Chamber. We want to express our appreciation 
to him for the very inspiring words of prayer that he offered us.
  Pastor York has dedicated his life to spiritual guidance and to 
public service. He served as pastor in churches in Missouri, Oklahoma 
and California, and in California he has been pastor, as the Speaker 
said, of the Rosemead Christian church for the past 11 years. He also 
was President of the Missouri Christian Convention and is chairman of 
the board of trustees at St. Louis Christian College where he 
graduated.
  Pastor York and his wife Alicia have five children, Anna, Tammy, 
Wendy, Joshua and Rebekah. As a resident of West Covina, he has been 
active as a leader in local government and various charitable 
organizations. In fact, I on more than a few occasions have seen him 
play the role of Santa Claus. I am very proud to have him here in 
Washington, D.C. I join my colleagues in the House in thanking our 
distinguished guest chaplain for bringing us this very inspirational 
message today.
