                       WELCOMING DR. MIKE LANDRY

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. 
Buchanan) is recognized for 1 minute.
  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 Mike Landry, who 
delivered the opening prayer this morning, is a great spiritual leader 
in Sarasota, Florida. For the past 16 years, he has served as senior 
pastor to the Sarasota Baptist Church, located in the heart of my 
district.
  My wife, Sandy, and I have had the pleasure of knowing the pastor for 
nearly 5 years. He is very devoted to his family, his church, his 
congregation, and serving the people of southwest Florida. He has made 
himself an incredible and beloved member of our community.
  I commend Pastor Landry for his outstanding service to our community 
and to our Nation. It's my honor today to welcome him here to the House 
of Representatives.
