                      Thursday, February 17, 2005

  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the birth of 
Madalyn Elizabeth Priest. My Legislative Director, Matt Priest, and his 
wife Lisa welcomed little Madalyn into the world on January 31, 2005. 
Weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces, Madalyn has already become the pride and 
joy of her happy parents.
  With each new birth we are reminded of just how precious life is and 
how amazing a design God has created in us all. We also have an 
opportunity to reflect on the role this body can play in protecting 
human life at its most innocent and vulnerable stage.
