                       NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, this morning, my father, my son, my father-
in-law, and I attended the National Prayer Breakfast, and joined 
thousands of other men and women to pray for our country and our 
President.
  This was one of the most humbling experiences of my life and will 
remain one of the greatest honors that has come with the position of my 
office.
  Prayer is an important part of my Christian faith. It is an act that 
people of faith value immensely, and every person should be able to 
pray, free from persecution, in any institution of the United States.
  Additionally, our children should never feel ostracized for 
displaying their faith and expressing their religious beliefs in our 
schools across our Nation. It is more important than ever to defend our 
First Amendment rights and to support efforts made by our President and 
his administration, and Members of Congress should uphold these values 
and protect prayer.
