                  A TRIBUTE TO BISHOP WELLINGTON BOONE

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
an incredible man of faith, with a true calling and a heart for serving 
the Lord, Bishop Wellington Boone.
  Bishop Wellington Boone was ordained into ministry in 1973; and in 
that same year, he married his childhood sweetheart, Katheryn. Today, 
Bishop Boone not only celebrates 40 years of ministry, but 40 years of 
a loving marriage with his wife. In today's world, it is unique and 
certainly admirable to see a couple celebrate 40 years of marriage. 
Their long-lasting marriage is a testament to not only their commitment 
to each other, but their dedication to serving the Lord.
  Bishop Boone's 40 years of leadership and service in ministry is also 
a tremendous accomplishment and one that deserves recognition. Through 
his work, Bishop Boone has faithfully led others in their quest to 
glorify and serve the Lord.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating Bishop Boone as 
he celebrates 40 years of ministry and 40 years of marriage with his 
lovely wife, Katheryn.
