                 INTRODUCTION OF MONSIGNOR GEORGE COYNE

  (Mr. WILSON of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILSON of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
welcome my good friend, Monsignor George Coyne, to the Congress this 
morning.
  I have known Monsignor Coyne since I was a young boy and he was a 
student in the seminary. At that time, he was also working for my 
grandfather in our family business. My entire family came to know him 
well. Monsignor Coyne set such a good example that his brothers, Jerry 
and Tim, followed him as employees of our family business.
  Even back then, Monsignor carried a deep faith and a commitment to 
serving others in our community, which he has all of his life as a 
priest. All of these years later, his faith and commitment are more 
evident than ever. Today, Monsignor Coyne serves the parishioners at 
two churches in eastern Ohio: Saint Joseph Church in Tiltonsville, and 
Saint Lucy Church in Yorkville.
  Just as I have, parishioners at Saint Joseph and Saint Lucy have 
witnessed Monsignor Coyne's passion firsthand. Today the Congress and 
the viewers across the Nation have had their chance to see what makes 
Monsignor Coyne such a special person. For that I am deeply grateful.
  In closing, I would like to thank Monsignor Coyne for joining us here 
today and for his years of dedicated service to the people of eastern 
Ohio.
