                   WELCOME TO THE REVEREND GENE AREY

  (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure today to say a word 
about our guest Chaplain who is also my constituent.
  The Reverend Gene Arey, who was born and raised in Waynesboro, 
Virginia, has served as copastor of Waynesboro's New Harvest Worship 
Center with his wife, Linda. The couple cofounded the church, located 
at 535 West Main Street, more than 7 years ago. Reverend and Mrs. Arey, 
who are active in foreign missions, recently returned from Romania, 
where they also serve as church leaders. Reverend Arey was ordained by 
Archbishop Silas Owiti of Kenya, Africa, and Dr. Decker Tapscott, 
pastor of Faith Christian Church in Warrenton, Virginia. Reverend Arey 
is joined in Washington today by his wife, his son Larry, daughter-in-
law Kay, and granddaughter Olivia who live in Greenville, Virginia, 
also in my district.
