   WELCOMING REVEREND DR. DAVID SHIBLEY, PRESIDENT, GLOBAL ADVANCE, 
                             DALLAS, TEXAS

  (Mr. HALL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HALL. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the world's minister 
here. He is my neighbor in Rockwall, Texas. Rockwall is the smallest 
county of 254 counties in Texas, and he is my neighbor, he is my 
friend, and, as I say, he is the world's pastor.
  Dr. Shibley has spent his life dedicated to the spreading of the 
Gospel throughout the world. Through his work and through private 
donations, he has afforded on-site training for over 193,000 pastors 
and church leaders in 53 nations and has equipped them with books and 
ministry resources in 13 languages.
  Today, as we worry about the Nation and worry about the men and women 
overseas and we pray for our President, we may have the strongest 
intercontinental ballistic missile system and the best military 
hardware of anyone in the world, but we know today the greatest power 
we have and the power we need is the power of prayer.
  Thank you, Dr. Shibley, for your prayer.
