                     HONORING REV. BERTRAIN BAILEY

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. 
Corrine Brown) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. It is an honor to be here today with 
our distinguished guest chaplain, Rev. Bertrain Bailey, who is Pastor 
of the St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, Ms. Eddie 
Bernice Johnson's constituent. Rev. Bailey is well known for his strong 
faith and the work he is doing in the Dallas, Texas, community. He has 
impacted the lives of thousands of congregation members, and I am 
pleased that he could be with us today in the House of Representatives 
to share his prayers and wisdom.
  For over 130 years, the Missionary Baptist Church has been known for 
its tradition of serving the church family and community. During his 
time at St. John's, Rev. Bailey has proven an energetic and dynamic 
leader. His spirit and initiative have endeared him to current members 
and attracted new members. I am pleased to be able to share his faith 
and inspiration with my colleagues. I thank Rev. Bailey for his 
presence and his blessing.
