             WELCOMING REVEREND DR. CHARLES B. JACKSON, SR.

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, Mr. Clyburn of South Carolina is 
recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to welcome to 
these Chambers and to this well a good friend and a personal, I will 
say, savior to a multitude of South Carolinians.
  Reverend Charles B. Jackson has been serving as pastor of Brookland 
Baptist Church now for 54 years, having been installed at the age of 
18.
  I first met him about 2 or 3 years into his pastorate when he was 
still a student at Benedict College in Columbia. He graduated from the 
Morehouse School of Religion in Atlanta and has served not only as a 
pastor of their church, but as a great leader in South Carolina.
  He serves to make true the words of James when he wrote in his 
epistle: ``Faith without works is dead.''
  His work is a living monument to the people of South Carolina and 
these United States of America, and I am pleased to welcome him here 
today.
