                 WELCOME TO THE REVEREND JERRY SULLIVAN

  (Mr. QUINN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUINN. Mr. Speaker, it is indeed an honor for me to welcome 
Father Monsignor Jerome Sullivan, as the Speaker pointed out, but back 
home in Wanakah, Clover Bank, and Hamburg, New York, he prefers to be 
referred to as Father Jerry.
  We are honored to have Father Jerry with us this morning to offer 
these opening remarks. I know that, as a parishioner of his now for 
over 20 years, when he suggests to the Members, when he suggests to the 
audience, and then to the country this morning, that we listen to each 
other and that we show respect for each other, it is the same exact 
thing that he suggests of his parishioners back at St. Mary of the 
Lake.
  I know all of us who work here in Washington, D.C., on both sides of 
the aisle, in both Chambers, know that we should do a little bit more 
listening, and we should make certain that we respect each other.
  Father Jerry, we appreciate your remarks this morning. We could use 
you here in Washington, D.C.; but we sure are glad you are at St. Mary 
of the Lake.
