  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Reverend Gun Ha Song in 
recognition of his business accomplishments and spiritual leadership in 
the community.
  Reverend Song came to the United States in 1979. He founded the Good 
Pickin' store in 1982 and he continues to manage it successfully today. 
Reverend Song is the president of the Korean Association of Brooklyn.
  Reverend Song's passion is his faith. He leads his congregation in 
Brooklyn. In preparation of his pastoral duties, Reverend Song has 
studied extensively, earning advanced degrees in the area of religious 
thought. He has earned a Masters Degree of S.B.E. Christian Education. 
He received an additional Masters Degree from Chongshin Theological 
Seminary. Finally, Reverend Song also holds a Doctor of Christian 
Education from Cumberland University.
  Mr. Speaker, Reverend Gun Ha Song came to this country about 25 years 
ago and has made several contributions to this country through his 
entrepreneurial spirit and spiritual leadership. As such, he is more 
than worthy of receiving our recognition today and I urge my colleagues 
to join me in honoring this truly remarkable person.
