                    WELCOMING RABBI DOV HILLEL KLEIN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentlewoman from 
Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Speaker, Rabbi, I think this is probably the 
first time that Bill Cosby has been part of the morning prayer. 
Certainly it is the first time his grandmother has been part of the 
prayer.
  It is with great pride that I rise to welcome Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein 
to our Nation's Capital as guest chaplain.
  Rabbi Klein works in my hometown of Evanston, Illinois, where he is a 
widely respected member of the community as the district director of 
Lubavitch Chabad.
  Rabbi Klein has had a profound impact on Chabad, not only in 
Evanston, but throughout the United States. He was one of the pioneers 
in creating Chabad on university campuses in the United States when he 
brought his ministry to the students at Northwestern University. 
Because of his continued efforts, today Chabad is on 140 campuses 
throughout the United States.
  Rabbi Klein also serves an invaluable role in our community as one of 
the founders and now senior chaplain for the Evanston Police 
Department, where he accompanies officers in squad cars on patrol and 
is called upon for crisis intervention. In fact, his work with law 
enforcement officers around town has earned him the nickname, ``Rabbi 
Cop.''
  For all that he has done for our community, I am honored to welcome 
Rabbi Klein and his sons, Avramy and Levi, who are in the gallery to 
Congress and to thank him for his wonderful work.
