                   WELCOMING REVEREND BRUCE R. SCOTT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Indiana, Congressman Visclosky, is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. VISCLOSKY. It is my honor to welcome to the Chamber Reverend 
Randy Scott, who led us in the opening prayer.
  Reverend Scott has dedicated his life to the service of his community 
and fellow citizens in northwest Indiana. Before joining the church, 
Randy spent 37 years of his life as a member of the International 
Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Local 374, in Hammond, Indiana.
  After his retirement, Reverend Scott was touched by the Holy Spirit 
and realized that his life was destined for a higher purpose. He put 
his life in the hands of the Lord, who directed him to become a 
shepherd of His flock. Twenty-four years ago, Reverend Scott began 
ministering with the United Pentecostal Church International. Reverend 
Scott became the assistant pastor at the Pentecostals of South Lake 
Church in Merrillville, Indiana, where he has effectively ministered to 
the congregation for the past 20 years, enriching all those who pass 
through the doors. Reverend Scott has also dedicated himself to the 
Merrillville Clergy Association, where he has served as president for 
the past 3 years.
  Reverend Scott is joined here today with his wife, Connie, and his 
daughter, Lydia.
  It is my honor to welcome a man who encompasses so many of the 
wonderful qualities and experiences of the people of northwest Indiana, 
and I would like to personally thank Reverend Scott for offering this 
morning's prayer.
