  Mr. MARIO DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is with great 
pleasure that I rise today to commemorate the 75th birthday of Mr. 
James Wynne Hart.
  Born on September 10, 1928 Mr. James Wynne Hart has dedicated much of 
his life to spreading the word of God. For over thirty years, Mr. Hart 
served with distinction as a minister of the United Methodist Church. 
Having served pastorates in Vonore, Kingsport, Chattanooga, Knoxville, 
Tennessee, and in addition Bluefield, Virginia, Mr. Hart has been an 
integral part of the spiritual life of these communities.
  Despite his retirement from the Ministry, Mr. Hart continues to be 
active in his church, the Clyde United Methodist Church in North 
Carolina. Currently, Mr. Hart resides in Lake Junaluska, North 
Carolina, with his beloved wife of 51 years, Mrs. Frances Cobb Hart.
  A graduate of Emory and Henry College in Abingdon, Virginia, Mr. Hart 
pursued and completed post-graduate studies at the Candler School of 
Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to commemorate this man of conviction, 
principle, and God, on such a joyous occasion. I ask you to join me in 
congratulating Mr. James Wynne Hart on his 75th birthday, and in 
wishing him and his wife, many more years of happiness and 
accomplishment.
