  Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call 
attention to the accomplishments of a great man and a great Virginian, 
Dr. Raymond A. Bell, Senior Pastor at Mount Hope Baptist Church.
  Dr. Bell celebrates his 20th Anniversary with Mount Hope Baptist 
Church on September 23, 2006.
  Dr. Bell is a true pillar of his community. As a leader in the faith 
community and an advocate for his congregation, Dr. Bell is a real 
example of the values held dear by Virginians--hard work, perseverance, 
and dedication.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Bell is a true American leader. A successful 
reverend and public servant who has worked tirelessly for so many 
years, I wish Dr. Bell many more years to so greatly impact his fellow 
Virginians.
