  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from North Carolina 
(Mr. Coble) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for me today to introduce 
Army Chaplain Rudy Stevens.
  Captain Stevens lives in North Carolina's Sixth Congressional 
District and serves the 2 504 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade 
Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North 
Carolina.
  During his tenure, Mr. Speaker, Captain Stevens has received many 
awards, most notably the Bronze Star, the Air Assault Wings, and Jump 
Wings. He has been deployed, Mr. Speaker, on separate occasions and 
will continue his duty with a deployment to Afghanistan in the coming 
months.
  On behalf of the constituents of the Sixth District of North Carolina 
and my colleagues here in the people's House, Chaplain Stevens, we 
welcome you to the House of Representatives and extend our appreciation 
to you for having offered today's prayer.
