 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 

  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome Reverend 
Andrew D. Singleton, Jr., pastor of Victory Apostolic Church in my 
hometown of Matteson, Illinois, as today's guest chaplain.
  For more than 20 years, Pastor Singleton has been a powerful and 
positive force in our community working to improve the lives and 
futures of our neighbors while tending to their spiritual needs.
  Pastor Singleton has a unique gift of communicating a message of 
faith, justice, and equality across generations. I could not be prouder 
to welcome him and his inspirational voice to Capitol Hill, especially 
at this critical time for our Nation.
  I hope his words serve as an example and challenge to this Congress 
to redouble our efforts to uplift and empower families and communities.
  Thank you, Pastor Singleton, for joining us and leading us in prayer.
