                  WELCOMING REVEREND DR. JIMMY JACKSON

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. 
Brooks) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, it is with great privilege that I 
welcome Dr. Jimmy Jackson to the House of Representatives and thank him 
for serving as today's guest chaplain.
  Dr. Jackson is the senior pastor at Whitesburg Baptist Church in 
Huntsville, Alabama, where he has served since 1978.
  He and his wife, Bobbi, have been married for 54 years. They are 
parents of three children, seven grandchildren, and three great-
grandchildren.
  Dr. Jackson has held numerous leadership roles within the Southern 
Baptist Convention and has served as past president of the Alabama 
Pastors Conference and past president of the Alabama Baptist 
Convention.
  I have personally known Dr. Jimmy Jackson for almost 35 years and 
appreciate him, admire him, and thank him for his long commitment to 
his congregation, to his community, to America, and to the lives of the 
tens of thousands he has touched during his lifetime of service to God.
