                      WELCOMING REV. MICHAEL ASKEW

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Boyd) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. BOYD. Mr. Speaker, I am extremely pleased to have had Rev. 
Michael Askew from Tallahassee, Florida, as our guest chaplain today to 
lead us in prayer this morning. I appreciate his insightful words and 
spiritual message.
  Rev. Askew joins us from the Trinity United Presbyterian Church of 
Tallahassee, Florida, where he has led the congregation since September 
of 2008 after arriving there from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Rev. Askew has 
an impressive 20-year career as an educator and careworker to at-risk 
youth. He is a man of God, a man of service, and a spiritual leader and 
teacher in the Tallahassee community.
  I would like to commend Rev. Askew for the positive impact he has 
made on so many lives in my community and others. We are grateful for 
his service, and I wish him the very best as he continues to guide his 
congregation in the coming years.
