minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REHBERG. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to introduce the guest 
chaplain, Tony Incashola, Director of the Salish-Pend d'Orielle Culture 
Committee, of the Flathead Indian Reservation.
  The Flathead Indian Reservation is home to the Confederated Salish 
and Kootenai Tribe, consisting of the Salish, Pend d'Orielle, and 
Kootenai peoples.
  Today, Tony is a highly respected tribal and community leader. For 
over 25 years, Tony, a fluent Salish language speaker, has served on 
the Culture Committee.
  As young men, both Tony and his brother, Baptiste, left home to serve 
their country in Vietnam. Tony accompanied his brother's body home 
after he was killed in action.
  Tony and his wife, Denise, have four children and have raised several 
foster children.
  Finally, Mr. Speaker, I thank the Tribal Chairman Fred Matt for 
requesting that Tony be today's guest chaplain.
