                WELCOMING REVEREND DR. PATRICIA VENEGAS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentlewoman from 
California (Mrs. Napolitano) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to welcome Dr. Patricia 
Venegas of Without Spot Or Wrinkle Ministries International. I thank 
her and her husband for coming from La Verne, one of my cities.
  She started the church in 1998 with her husband, Reverend Benjamin 
Venegas, who is up in the gallery somewhere. From 1977 to the present, 
she serves as a chaplain to the Covina Police Department. She was 
ordained as a minister of the Gospel in December 2006.
  She published one book, ``The Bride of Christ Without Spot Or 
Wrinkle.'' She develops and writes curricula for conferences and 
seminars.
  Thanks for the work that you do, Reverend, to spread the Gospel 
throughout the San Gabriel Valley and beyond. May God bless you and God 
bless our country.
