               WELCOMING GUEST CHAPLAIN JARED TIMBERLAKE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from Ohio 
(Mr. Wenstrup) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise today to welcome Reverend Jared 
Timberlake and his family to the House Chamber.
  Reverend Timberlake has dedicated his life to selfless service, first 
through his time as a fellow Army soldier and then later through his 
work as a youth minister and pastor at Sandhill Baptist Church in 
Scioto County, Ohio.
  As President George Washington said in his farewell address: ``Of all 
the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, 
religion and morality are indispensable supports.''
  Nearly 250 years later, I am glad we welcome our religious leaders to 
the people's House to open our work with prayer.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Reverend Timberlake for his decades of service 
to our country and to the local Scioto County community.
