  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following letter for the 
Congressional Record.

                                                   March 14, 1999.
     Hon. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker Hastert: With praise and thanks to 
     Almighty God we wish to congratulate you on your elevation to 
     Speaker of the House of Representatives. As priests in the 
     Diocese of Rockford and currently stationed at Holy Angels 
     Catholic Parish in Aurora, Illinois, it is with great joy 
     that one so close to us has been appointed to such a position 
     of responsibility. We know you will fulfill your duties with 
     dignity and grace.
       Mr. Philip Kaim is now studying for the priesthood for our 
     diocese. He is particularly proud of your achievement. We are 
     praying for him as we are sure you are, as well.
       With every good wish in the Lord Jesus we remain,
     Rev. Gerald Kobbeman.
     Rev. Daniel Deutsch.
     Rev. Brian Geary.
