  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to welcome the First 
Baptist Church of Atlanta, Celebration Student Choir to our Nation's 
Capital.
  Tomorrow, in the Cannon caucus room, the choir will perform for the 
House of Representatives Bipartisan Prayer Breakfast. The Celebration 
Student Choir consists of one hundred members, ranging in age from 13 
to 18. The student choir is under the directorship of Reverend Chester 
Whisonant.
  The First Baptist Church of Atlanta has enjoyed the teaching and 
leadership of its current pastor Dr. Charles Stanley for 32 years. Dr. 
Stanley's TV ministry, ``In Touch'' can be seen in virtually every 
country of the world. We are indeed honored to have this renowned choir 
perform for the members of the United States House of Representatives.
