                   WELCOMING GUEST CHAPLAIN DAN BORNE

  (Mr. GRAVES of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GRAVES of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I want to give a quick shout-
out and recognition to our guest chaplain today, Deacon Dan Borne.
  Not to take anything away from the Almighty Father, but I think 
Deacon Borne's voice is often confused with the Almighty in Tiger 
Stadium in ``Death Valley'', as over and over again fans hear, ``First 
Down, Tigers,'' ``Chance of Rain? Never,'' and ``Touchdown, Tigers,'' 
to the frustration of our guest teams.
  Borne has been a longtime friend, along with his wife, a Catholic 
schoolteacher. His son, Jason, was one of my best friends in high 
school. David and Elizabeth are the other kids in the family. Deacon 
Borne has been leading them in a life of faith and is now leading our 
entire community as deacon in the East Baton Rouge Catholic Church.
  I appreciate him being here. I welcome him and certainly welcome his 
prayer, as we need much more of that here today.
