              WELCOMING THE REVEREND DR. ARNOLD B. LOVELL

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, our guest chaplain today is my friend, Dr. 
Arnold Lovell, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church in Knoxville.
  The Second Presbyterian is one of Knoxville's leading churches with 
approximately 1,000 members. Arnold has led that church as a senior 
pastor since 1997. Prior to that, he served for 10 years on the faculty 
of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA, as a professor of 
evangelism. He still teaches there in summer programs.
  Before that he was pastor of the first Presbyterian Church in South 
Charleston, WV. Dr. Lovell has two doctorates and is a leader in 
denominational activities of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian 
Church in the United States.
  Before going into the ministry, he was a coach of football and other 
sports at West Davidson High School in North Carolina. He is a chaplain 
for the Knoxville Quarterback Club and an avid fan of NASCAR and U.T. 
football.
  He and his wife Emily have two daughters, Carolyn and Catherine, and 
the Lovell women are here today in the gallery.
  Arnold Lovell is a patriotic American, a leader in both Tennessee and 
the Nation, and I am fortunate to have him as a friend and as guest 
chaplain in the United States House of Representatives today.
