                HONORING THE REVEREND DOUG WESTMORELAND

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, one of the privileges we have from time 
to time is to stand and recognize those in our community who do good, 
who improve the quality of life, who make our communities a better 
place to live.
  And today I have that opportunity to recognize Reverend Douglas 
Westmoreland, the pastor of Tusculum Hills Baptist Church in Nashville, 
Tennessee. In June of 1975, 30 years ago, Reverend Westmoreland 
answered the call and began sharing his ministry with the members of 
Tusculum Hills Baptist Church.
  It is my privilege today to join with those members and to thank him 
for his appreciation of the congregation, for his guidance he has given 
the congregation and the inspiration that he has given not only to the 
congregation but also to our entire community. We thank Reverend 
Westmoreland for his continued service, and I thank the Members of this 
body for joining me in honoring him.
