                 WELCOMING REVEREND DR. K. ERIC PERRIN

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to welcome 
Pastor Rick Perrin from the Irmo community of South Carolina as our 
guest chaplain. Pastor Perrin has been the senior pastor of Cornerstone 
Presbyterian Church for 11 years. He has been married to Barb Perrin 
for 30 years, and they have three wonderful sons. Scott Perrin serves 
with the Secret Service in Georgia; Tim Perrin, who worked for my 
mentor and predecessor, Floyd Spence; and Chris Perrin, who now works 
for my colleague, the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Watts).
  Pastor Perrin started the Community Roundtable, a group of leaders 
who have come together to lead and deal with at-risk youth. He also 
started the Human Relations Committee to promote harmony with racial 
and demographic changes in the community.

Pastor Perrin is the chairman of the World Reform Fellowship which 
connects churches and ministry organizations around the world to build 
partnerships. Pastor Perrin has demonstrated consistent leadership over 
the years, and I count his family as friends.
  It is a great honor for all South Carolinians to have Pastor Perrin 
perform the prayer today in the United States House of Representatives.
