  There was no objection.
  Mr. BUCHANAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege this morning to welcome 
a very good friend to the Halls of Congress.
  Pastor David Anderson, who gave the morning prayer, is a great 
spiritual leader in Sarasota, Florida. He has more than 35 years of 
pastoral experience as a Baptist minister, and for the past two 
decades, he has served the Faith Baptist Church of Sarasota, located in 
the heart of my district. That is where my wife, Sandy, and I first met 
the pastor 5 years ago. He is devoted to his family and to helping 
other people in our community. He has made himself a beloved member of 
our community.
  I commend Pastor Anderson for his longstanding service to our 
community and to our Nation. It is my honor today to welcome him here 
to the House of Representatives.
