                WELCOMING REVEREND ROBERT W. HORNER III

  (Mr. BARR of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is indeed an honor and a great 
personal pleasure to welcome today and invite to deliver the invocation 
seeking the blessing of our Lord God Almighty to these Chambers Pastor 
Robert W. ``Bob'' Horner III, Senior Pastor at Peachtree Corners 
Baptist Church in Norcross, Georgia.
  One of the first entries in Pastor Horner's resume is the fact that 
he is 6-foot-3. Now, for us folks of average height, 6-foot-3 is tall 
indeed, but the stature of this man of God goes far beyond 6-foot-3. He 
is indeed a giant among men. The strength and the height of his 
character and his stature is measured not in inches but in his great, 
deep, and abiding love for our Lord and his deep, abiding commitment to 
bring that message of salvation and redemption and commitment to those 
less fortunate, to all with whom he comes in contact, and many, many 
more all across this globe through the power of prayer.
  It is indeed an honor to welcome today to these hallowed halls Pastor 
Bob Horner who leads the very large, very generous and committed 
congregation which I am proud to call part of my home in Georgia, 
Peachtree Corners Baptist Church in Norcross, Georgia.
