                       HONORING BAKER PRICE FALLS

  (Mrs. MYRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I want to honor a truly amazing young man 
from my district in North Carolina. Baker Price Falls spent his life 
serving others and serving the Lord. He would have turned 26 today, but 
sadly he passed away this year from leukemia. He spent his life doing 
missions work. Whether he was working in the inner city of Philadelphia 
or D.C. or doing missions work over in Mexico or Alaska, he desired to 
be a servant for the Lord. As a member of the Harley Davidson Owners 
group in Gastonia, he spent that opportunity as well in service to the 
Lord. Baker was attending the University of Nations in Kona, Hawaii, 
where he was training for missions work in Africa, and in order to 
attend school he sold his most prized possession, which was his Harley.
  Unfortunately, before he left for Africa, he was diagnosed with 
leukemia. Even in sickness he was a light and an inspiration to all who 
knew him and came around him during that time. He was always smiling 
and always faithful, and he was a witness of God's love even in very 
difficult circumstances. A very special person, we will always remember 
him.
