       WELCOME TO GUEST CHAPLAIN, THE REVEREND H. WARREN CASIDAY

  (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, Thomasville, North Carolina, is known as the 
chair capital of the world. It is also the home of the Emanuel Reformed 
United Church of Christ, where our guest Chaplain today has served for 
the past 7 years. We are pleased to have Warren, his wife, Marie, and 
son, Jason, with us today.
  Mr. Speaker, I visited the Emanuel Church many months ago for a 
dinner on the grounds, and on that day some of the parishioners 
expressed interest in having their pastor to serve as our guest 
Chaplain and here he is today.
  Reverend Casiday received his divinity degree from the Duke 
University School of Divinity in Durham; and Warren presently serves, 
Mr. Speaker, as the president of the Thomasville Ministerial 
Association and the Chair City Toastmasters in Thomasville.
  Warren said to me, Mr. Speaker, just a few moments ago, ``I am a 
follower of Christ and I am humbled and honored to be the guest 
Chaplain today.'' I say to him, Warren, we are honored and privileged 
to have you and your family and your congregation in Thomasville back 
home watching.
