     WELCOMING THE REVEREND BOB WARREN, PASTOR, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS 
          EVANGELICAL FREE CHURCH, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS

  (Mr. KIRK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KIRK. Mr. Speaker, Reverend Robert Warren currently serves as the 
Pastor of Adults and Compassion Ministries at the Arlington Heights 
Evangelical Free Church in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The church has 
2,200 Members.
  Pastor Warren is remarkable for his service to his fellow man, his 
congregation and our community. Bob has been in the ministry for 30 
years, helping to lead four churches, as well as teaching college.
  At the Arlington Heights Evangelical Free Church, he has led the 
enhancement of the church's participation in suburban and international 
churches for the needy. In addition, he leads a team that mentors 
unemployed men and women and led the development of the church's lay 
care ministry.
  Pastor Warren is deeply committed to his family, his wife, Nancy, and 
their two children, Noel and Rob. Next week they will celebrate their 
32nd anniversary.
  Arlington Heights is the largest town in my district, a place where 
common sense Midwestern values of family and faith and freedom reign 
supreme. Pastor Warren embodies those values and is one of our most 
cherished leaders, and we are honored that he took the time to lead the 
House in prayer today.
