                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 15, 2004

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr Speaker, I join you this morning in welcoming today's 
distinguished guest chaplain: Reverend Jean Burch of Pasadena, a 
resident of my Congressional district in California.
  Reverend Burch represents the best of what we hope all citizens 
should be--always striving to improve the lives of others and always 
enthusiastic about our prospects for tomorrow.
  After a long career in the legal profession, she followed her heart 
into the faith community, becoming Senior Pastor at Community Baptist 
Church. In addition to her pastoral duties, she works tirelessly with 
other religious leaders to lift the scourge of violence in our schools.
  Each day she inspires those among her to better themselves and help 
people in need. I am pleased that all in the House of Representatives 
today have been able to benefit from her inspirational wisdom. I hope 
that many here today will get a chance to meet this remarkable woman.
