                       THE REVEREND DANNY COCHRAN

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of my colleague, the 
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Deal). He has asked me, in his absence, to 
extend a warm welcome to Reverend Danny Cochran. It is a pleasure to 
have him join us today as our guest chaplain.
  Reverend Cochran has served the people of the 10th District of 
Georgia for nearly 20 years. He is currently the Pastor of Holly Creek 
Baptist Church in Chatsworth, Georgia. Reverend Cochran received 
undergraduate degrees from Liberty University and Luther Rice Seminary 
and a Master of Arts and Religion from Liberty Baptist Theological 
Seminary. He is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry.
  While he has continually served those in his community through 
programs such as Big Brothers of America and the ``Economics of Staying 
in School,'' Reverend Cochran has extended his ministry beyond our 
country's borders. He has traveled to the Caribbean Islands, to Russia, 
to Romania and Honduras to bring aid to the people of these countries.
  It is an honor to have him offer this morning's prayer. Reverend 
Cochran, we appreciate your service not only to the citizens of the 
10th District of Georgia but to all Georgians, including those I 
represent in the 11th Congressional District. On behalf of my 
colleagues here in the United States House of Representatives, I thank 
you for your Ministry to us here today.
