      WELCOMING RABBI JOEL TESSLER TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  (Mr. DEUTSCH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to introduce to the House 
Rabbi Tessler from Beth Shalom, Potomac, Maryland, who has really 
welcomed me into his community.
  My family and I recently moved to Potomac and have found a community 
rabbi who has been there for 17 years and has made our home a home that 
we have been very lucky and blessed to be part of.
  I wish him many, many years more in terms of striving to affect not 
just the area in suburban Washington but the entire country, in fact, 
the entire world.
