                    WELCOMING DR. JOSEPH W. COLLINS

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, the guest chaplain for today is Dr. Joe 
Collins; and as the Speaker pointed out earlier, Joe is presently the 
senior minister at the Mt. Carmel Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, 
North Carolina, which is in the gentleman from North Carolina's (Mr. 
Burr) district. But Dr. Collins served for 8 years at the Central 
United Methodist Church in Denton, North Carolina, which is located in 
the district that I am pleased to represent.
  Dr. Collins is a graduate of the Duke Divinity School and was awarded 
his Doctor of Minister degree from Drew University in New Jersey. Joe 
and his wife, Lynne, are parents of three children, and his son Garrett 
accompanies him today.
  Mr. Speaker, we are indeed pleased to cordially welcome Dr. Collins 
to the people's House.
