                   WELCOMING RABBI FREDERICK L. KLEIN

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend my good friend, 
Rabbi Fred Klein, for his uplifting prayer that he delivered for us 
this morning, as well as for his tireless efforts to strengthen the 
Jewish community in my home district of South Florida.
  Rabbi Klein serves as the Director of Community Chaplaincy at the 
Greater Miami Jewish Federation and is the Executive Vice President of 
the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami. In these roles, Rabbi 
Klein offers counsel to the physically and mentally ill in their 
greatest times of need.
  I have long been aware of Rabbi Klein's commitment and contributions

to academia, to the Jewish community, and the social welfare of all of 
South Florida. But his greatest achievement, Mr. Speaker, is his 
family, including his four children, Moshe who is 11, Shuli who is 9, 
Benny is 6 years old, and Aryeh almost 4.
  The opening prayer that Rabbi Klein delivered today reflects his 
intellectual fiber, as well as his determination to improve our 
community and our country. I thank Rabbi Klein for his invocation, and 
I look forward to working with him in the years ahead.
