                       WELCOMING BHAI MOHAN SINGH

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. 
Newhouse) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor my guest Chaplain, 
Bhai Mohan Singh.
  Mohan Singh was the head granthi, or the head priest, at a Gurdwara 
in Yakima, Washington, and now travels the Nation spreading the 
teachings of Sikhism.
  Sikhism is the world's fifth largest religion with nearly 30 million 
followers worldwide, and roughly 1 million of those are located within 
the United States of America. It was founded by Guru Nanak in west 
Punjab in 1469 and is based on three cardinal principles: Meditate on 
God, earn a living by honest means, and share with the less fortunate.
  Mohan Singh is a dedicated preacher with an extensive educational 
background in Sikhism, with experience in both teaching and leading 
religious services. His career spans over two decades of service in 
both India and the United States, and we are very fortunate to have him 
here today with us to lead the opening prayer and to represent the good 
people of central Washington.
