                  WELCOMING THE REVEREND DAVID E. PAUL

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to welcome Dr. David 
Paul and his wife, Judy, to the House Chamber this morning. I join my 
colleague, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Hastings), in this great 
honor.
  Dr. Paul is a third generation Floridian. He was born in Miami, 
Florida, in 1946; and he is a graduate of Miami Senior High School and 
the University of Florida. Go Gators.
  He is a true spiritual leader rooted in Florida.
  An accomplished trombone player, Reverend Paul played with the 
Savannah Symphony Orchestra for a number of years before attending the 
Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky, where he earned his 
master of divinity degree and doctor of divinity.
  After 10 years in Kentucky, Dr. Paul again regained his senses and 
returned to Florida where he has served churches in Eustic, Groveland, 
Clewiston and Lake City.
  I know the community in Clewiston was very sad to see Reverend Paul 
head to Lake City, but one community's loss is another's gain; and I am 
sure he will have the same impact in Lake City that he had for us in 
Clewiston.
