                   WELCOMING CHAPLAIN CHERITA POTTER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from Oregon 
(Mr. Wu) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. WU. Madam Speaker, I'd like to first welcome my father, K.C. Wu, 
to the House gallery.
  It is also my distinct pleasure and honor to welcome our guest 
chaplain for today, Ms. Cherita Potter.
  Ms. Potter is the national chaplain for the American Legion Auxiliary 
and one of my constituents in Oregon. She is also an active member of 
Community Presbyterian Church in Cannon Beach, Oregon, where she 
participates in Vacation Bible School, choir and Bible study.
  Ms. Potter has served in a number of leadership roles at both the 
State and national levels of the American Legion Auxiliary, and I would 
like to thank her personally for her ongoing service to our Nation's 
veterans.
  She is joined today by her husband, Toby, a retired Navy Seabee.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Potter for her 
service to our country.
