                   WELCOME TO THE REVEREND KEN L. DAY

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, I thank you for the privilege to recognize 
our guest pastor today who is from my district. He serves the Level 
Cross United Methodist Church in Level Cross, North Carolina. I said to 
him yesterday, ``I address my minister as Preacher. Ken, are you 
comfortable with that endearing title?''
  He said, ``That is an ascribed title, not earned. I like it.''
  So, Preacher, it is good to have you with us here today. Your family 
is in the gallery. I know your parishioners are watching today.
