        HONORING THE SOUTH BAY NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER BREAKFAST

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. STEVEN T. KUYKENDALL

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 4, 2000

  Mr. KUYKENDALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
second annual South Bay National Day of Prayer Breakfast. This Judeo-
Christian event was created to recognize the value of prayer and 
reflection in our daily lives.
  This important occasion is patterned after the National Day of Prayer 
Breakfast in Washington, DC. Congress established the National Day of 
Prayer Breakfast in 1952 as a time for personal reflection and 
rededication of individuals, communities, and the nation to God.
  I commend the business, religious, and community leaders who are 
responsible for organizing this event in the South Bay. This is a 
meaningful event for individuals of all backgrounds and faiths to come 
together as a community and reflect.
  Although this is only the second year that the South Bay National Day 
of Prayer Breakfast is being held, it has quickly become a tradition. I 
look forward to its continued success.
