                   WELCOMING REVEREND WILLIAM JOHNSON

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from Kansas 
(Mr. Marshall) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, I am often asked about what I value in 
life, and I speak of the four pillars of my life: faith, family, 
community, and education. Today I honor faith.

  It is a thrill and honor of my life to have my pastor here today to 
help us open this Congress like we do every morning: with prayer.
  I honor Pastor Bill Johnson and all the pastors across the country. 
Today, the pastor who baptized my four children, who married my 
daughter, we are so glad, so proud to have him lead us and open this 
House.
  Mr. Speaker, there are many, many freedoms that we value, but there 
is nothing I value more than freedom of religion.
