  PAYING OUR RESPECTS TO CHAPLAINS FOX, POLING, WASHINGTON, AND RABBI 
                                 GOODE

  (Mr. MILLER of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, this year's tribute to our lost 
four chaplains, last seen on the decks of the USAT Dorchester offering 
comfort and their only chance for survival to others, is particularly 
poignant. For it was this past year that these men were reunited at 
this country's most hallowed grounds, Arlington National Cemetery.
  With the recognition long overdue of Rabbi Alexander D. Goode, and 
all the Jewish war chaplains who have served this Nation in faith, the 
four chaplains stand watch once again over their flock from Chaplains 
Hill. Providence most definitely brought them together after history 
attempted to break their bond.
  And so 69 years later, we reinforce the bonds of faith that no man 
can break and pay our respects to Chaplains Fox, Poling, Washington, 
and Rabbi Goode and honor their sacrifice to our great Nation.
