                WELCOMING REVEREND MICHAEL D. PFINGSTEN

  (Mr. MANZULLO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MANZULLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Reverend Michael D. 
Pfingsten, the U.S. House of Representatives guest chaplain for today.
  Mike is a Lutheran pastor of 19 years; and he and his family have 
joined us from Harvard, Illinois, where Rev. Pfingsten is pastor of St. 
Paul Lutheran Church.
  Rev. Pfingsten earned his B.A. in History at Concordia College and 
Masters of Divinity in History at Concordia Theological Seminary.
  On this day in 325 A.D., Christian bishops gathered to discuss the 
essentials of the Christian faith at the first Council of Nicaea. I am 
delighted that Rev. Pfingsten, a man who can truly appreciate the 
significance of this day, was able to lead us in prayer.
