     INTRODUCTION OF THE REVEREND STANLEY PETERSON, GUEST CHAPLAIN

  (Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to introduce Pastor 
Stan Peterson this morning. Stan is a senior pastor at Monmouth 
Christian Church, as well as the lead chaplain for the Polk County 
Police and Fire Chaplaincy Team. His family has deep roots in Polk 
County, which is part of Oregon's Fifth Congressional District.
  Stan Peterson has come to Washington, DC to visit our troops at 
Walter Reed, Bethesda, and the VA hospitals. I am hoping that later 
today and tomorrow he can deliver the letters, quilts, cookies, and 
holiday spirit to the young men and women who have given so much for 
this Nation.
  On behalf of Polk County Emergency Services and the people of the 
community, Stan has come to Washington, DC, to share a message of good 
will and support. I am so delighted that he has made the trip and 
grateful that he has been able to give the invocation on this historic 
day, Pearl Harbor Day.
