                  WELCOMING THE REVEREND WON SANG LEE

  (Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor today to 
introduce our guest chaplain this morning, Reverend Won Sang Lee, 
senior pastor of the Korean Presbyterian Church in Vienna, Virginia. I 
do this on behalf of the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Tom Davis).
  Reverend Lee has been a spiritual leader in the 11th District of 
Virginia for over 25 years and he has spearheaded his church's efforts 
towards community outreach both locally and internationally. Reverend 
Lee is president of Seed International, a mission agency which provides 
support to missions around the world, including the United States and 
Korea. He is also Moderator for the Coalition of the Korean Churches in 
the Presbyterian Church in America, and cochairs the Korean World 
Mission Council for Christ.
  Reverend Lee earned his B.A. in Philosophy from KeiMyung University 
and an M.A. in Philosophy from KyungBook University in Korea. He has 
also earned a Theological Master in the Old Testament from the Dallas 
Theological Seminary and a Master of Arts in Near Eastern Studies from 
the University of Pennsylvania.
  In November 2001, Reverend Lee received the Virginia Governor's Award 
for ``Outstanding Religious Institution'' in Richmond, Virginia. This 
award was granted for his work in the Korean Central Senior Center, 
where he has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors since 1994. 
Earlier this year, Reverend Lee was asked to lead the Virginia State 
House of Delegates with opening prayer in Richmond, Virginia.
  I ask my colleagues in the House to join myself and the gentleman 
from Virginia (Mr. Tom Davis) in welcoming Reverend Lee to this 
Chamber.
