                        Wednesday, May 30, 2012

  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, it was indeed an honor to have 
Pastor Joel Osteen serve as a guest Chaplin to open the house on 
Tuesday, April 24, 2012 with prayer for members of the House and for 
our nation. I also take this opportunity to wish Pastor Osteen, his 
wife Victoria, their family and entire organization well as they 
prepare and implement a major outpouring of religious favor this week 
in Washington DC area.
  The ability to fill the DC Stadium with people for religious praise 
and worship is indeed leadership and I commend Rev. Joel Osteen for 
being able to provide a great deal of that.
