                    TRIBUTE TO REVEREND T. F. TENNEY

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, today I recognize Reverend T. F. 
Tenney, United Pentecostal Church District Superintendent for the State 
of Louisiana. Reverend Tenney retired on March 31, 2005, after 26 years 
of service in central Louisiana and throughout the State. More than 
4,000 people attended a celebration of his service to offer heartfelt 
appreciation and best wishes at his retirement ceremony, and I join in 
their sentiments today.
  Through his role as district superintendent he was responsible for 
overseeing all of Louisiana's United Pentecostal Churches. Reverend 
Tenney created a level of stability in the church

and brought the United Pentecostal Church to a new level during his 26 
years of service. His professionalism and guidance in handling 
Louisiana's churches and their congregations will be missed, as will 
his great wisdom and leadership.
  I personally commend, honor and thank Reverend Tenney on the occasion 
of his retirement from service to the people of Louisiana after 26 
years as United Pentecostal Church District Superintendent for the 
State of Louisiana.
