                   WELCOME TO THE REV. GLEN W. WARNER

  (Mr. LaTOURETTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaTOURETTE. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure today to welcome the 
Reverend Glen W. Warner as our guest chaplain today. Glen is the Pastor 
of the Second Congregational United Church of Christ in Ashtabula, 
Ohio, a post that he has held for the last 3 years.
  I have had the pleasure of knowing Glen and his wife Nancy and their 
wonderful family for the past 6 years. Their generosity in time and 
spirit is well known in our community. Churches, children's services, 
and philanthropic causes of all stripes have benefited from Glen and 
Nancy's involvement. Glen was actually the Republican candidate for the 
seat that I have the pleasure of holding in 1982.
  Glen is also blessed with an endearing sense of humor. According to a 
newspaper account heralding his visit here, Glen was asked what he 
planned to incorporate into his morning prayer with us this morning. I 
will quote: ``Warner said he has talked to several Ashtabulans, seeking 
their opinion as to what he should mention in his prayer. One woman's 
suggestion that Warner pray for a Democratic majority obviously didn't 
make the cut.''
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to welcome Glen to the House this 
morning and thank him for his service.
