              WELCOME TO THE REVEREND DR. FRANK RICHARDSON

  (Mr. CARDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to introduce our guest 
chaplain, Dr. Frank Richardson.
  Dr. Richardson currently holds positions as assistant professor, 
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins 
University School of Medicine and staff psychologist, Outpatient 
Psychiatry Department at Baltimore's Kennedy Krieger Institute. In 
addition to his current responsibilities, he brings to us rich life 
experiences as a Methodist minister of 9 years in Lansdowne, 
Pennsylvania, a board member of Baltimore's Hamden Family Center, work 
with the Catholic Charities Programs in San Diego, and as a chaplain 
intern for a number of schools and hospitals in Massachusetts.
  This blend of experiences offers us a unique perspective of faith 
reflecting a wide variety of pastoral views, regional differences, all 
focused on the special care we must bring to each other and especially 
our children.
  It is our honor to have Dr. Richardson and his family with us today.
