                     WELCOMING PASTOR LOUIE GIGLIO

  Mr. CORKER. Mr. President, it is an honor to be here with Pastor 
Louie Giglio, from Atlanta, who pastors the Passion Church there.
  I think everyone in this body knows Congress led on an issue to end 
modern slavery around the world. That was something that passed this 
body a couple of years ago. The appropriators have funded it. We are 
well on our way leading the world today in trying to end modern 
slavery, where today we have 27 million people around the world in 
slavery--more than at any time in the world's history. I can honestly 
say the genesis of that, the seed for that, the beginning of that, 
started at Passion Church, where he led an effort to make sure people 
are aware of this scourge on mankind. I am grateful to him. Millions of 
people around the world will be grateful to him and his congregation. I 
am honored to know him and be his friend, and I thank him for his 
leadership in that regard but also beginning our day in this way. Thank 
you so much.
  With that, I yield the floor.
