                       Tuesday, September 4, 2007

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, it is an honor for me to rise 
today to recognize the 138th Session of the Florida Annual Conference 
for the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
  Every year, leaders of the AME Zion Churches throughout the State 
convene to discuss the Church's past and present, as well as establish 
a direction for its future. This year's conference will take place at 
Talbot Chapel AME Zion Church in my district in Northwest Florida, and 
I welcome the members of the conference to this beautiful area of the 
Gulf Coast.
  As these leaders gather to set a course for the AME Zion Churches in 
their respective communities throughout the State of Florida, I wish 
them God's grace in their decision making. Madam Speaker, on behalf of 
the United States Congress, I send my sincere blessings for the success 
of the 138th Session of the Florida Annual Conference for the African 
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.

                          ____________________
