                WELCOMING THE REVEREND SAUL SANTOS, JR.

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from California (Mr. 
Baca) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. BACA. Madam Speaker, I stand here today to recognize a 
charitable, compassionate young man from my Congressional district in 
California, Minister Saul Santos, Jr. Minister Santos blessed us with 
the wonderful prayer we just heard this morning. And while only 27 
years of age, he is already a licensed minister at the Christian Life 
Center Apostolic Church in Ontario, California.
  In a world where too many of us have turned a blind eye to the 
problems of our neighbors, Minister Santos has led a life filled with 
service to others. And I say service to others. He is the founder and 
president of Affirming Community Initiatives, a nonprofit organization 
that provides food, clothing and youth programs to the underserved in 
our Inland communities.
  Let us thank Minister Santos for serving as our guest House Chaplain 
today, and recognize him for the example he has set for many others to 
follow. He is truly a role model for us. We should all strive to live 
our lives in such a selfless and truly Christian manner, as he has 
done.
