                    WELCOMING REVEREND BYRON BROUGHT

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. 
Sarbanes) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SARBANES. Madam Speaker, it is my great pleasure and honor to 
welcome Reverend Byron Brought to Congress this morning. Reverend 
Brought is retiring this month after serving the Maryland community for 
more than 40 years as a spiritual leader and mentor.
  Since 1992, Reverend Brought has served as Senior Pastor at Calvary 
United Methodist Church in Annapolis, Maryland. Prior to his 
appointment at Calvary, he presided over several United Methodist 
ministries in the Baltimore-Washington Conference. His many 
accomplishments include serving on various community councils, 
including terms as President of the Baltimore-Washington Conference 
Board of Pensions and the Council on Finance and Administration.
  Reverend Brought is the proud husband of Mary Kay, father to two 
children, and grandfather to soon to be four grandchildren. I ask my 
colleagues in the House of Representatives to join with me in 
congratulating Reverend Brought on a career of dedication and service.

                              {time}  1010

  The SPEAKER. The Chair will entertain up to 10 additional 1-minute 
speeches on each side of the aisle.
