                    RICHARD WAYNE ``R.W.'' ALLEN II

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great joy that I rise today to 
recognize and celebrate the life of my 13th grandchild on his first-
month birthday.
  On November 7, 2018, my family and I welcomed Richard Wayne ``R.W.'' 
Allen II, my namesake, into our family. Of our 13 grandchildren, R.W. 
is our fourth grandson. I am truly humbled that my fourth grandson was 
named in my honor.
  Robin and I are the proud parents of four wonderful children, and our 
only son, Andy, and his wife, Betsy, are now the parents of R.W. and 
his older sister, Elsie, who is named after my mother.
  Andy is a foreign service officer with the State Department, and 
right now he and his family are living here in Washington and training 
for his next assignment. I cannot put in words how happy we are that 
Andy, Betty, Elsie, and R.W. are here with us in D.C. as we celebrate 
this addition to our growing family.
  My prayer for R.W. is he will grow strong in his faith and personally 
experience the mercy, grace, peace, and love of our Savior, Jesus 
Christ.
